This week on the podcast you're coming home with me to McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.
An Italian-American enclave about ten miles west of Pittsburgh, it's the home of the once-famous Primadonna restaurant, which serves as the backdrop of the story you'll hear this week from "On the Rocks" author Maria Palmer--daughter of the restaurant's owner, Joe Costanzo.
"On the Rocks" chronicles Joe's rise to success in the 1990s as not only the owner of the Primadonna, but also a radio host, columnist, and aspiring politician, to his sharp fall in the early 2000s, ending in a stint in federal prison.
Maria walks us through what it's like to watch as everything her father has built comes crumbling down, and what it's like to recover from it.
Come with us on a conversation that dives into hard work, loyalty, betrayal, and a whole lot of Italian food.
