From his early years in South Detroit to decades in Tampa kitchens, Marty Blitz, owner of Mise En Place, has earned the expertise needed to execute in the kitchen. In this episode of “Tampa’s Table: A Culinary Journey,” Marty teaches what it takes for a restaurant to thrive in Tampa Bay’s always-evolving culinary scene. Plus, he shares how he represents the cuisine of Tampa on a national level, going as far as a past partnership with the NFL.

Join us as we talk to Tampa Bay's culinary experts – from innovative chefs and restaurateurs to skilled mixologists and dedicated coffee roasters to conversations with classic and urban farmers, unearthing the roots of local cuisine and sustainable agriculture in Tampa Bay.
