I need people who are interested in science and interested in history, and where they can focus that excitement on pizza and be able to use pizza as a lens that you can use to view all these other things.
Imagine loving pizza so much that it becomes your entire life. That's Scott Weiner for you. In this episode of 'The Lighter Side with Jay', Scott sits down with host Jay Casale to share his incredible journey from pizza lover to pizza historian. Scott isn't just any pizza enthusiast; he's the Guinness World Record holder for the largest collection of pizza boxes and a monthly columnist for Pizza Today Magazine. He's also the host of Thrillist's 'Really Dough'.
During their chat, Scott dives into the fascinating history of pizza, its cultural significance, and how it has evolved over time. But it's not all cheesy stories and crusty tales. Scott also talks about how the pandemic impacted his beloved pizza tours and how he adapted by offering virtual tours and lectures. Plus, you'll hear about his amazing charity work with Slice Out Hunger, which raised $600K to feed frontline workers during the pandemic.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves pizza or just enjoys hearing about someone turning their passion into a career.
