Our guest is Sean Ferraro, who runs Madison Avenue Pizza in Dunedin. They’re a rare example of making Instagram-worthy creative pizzas which actually taste good, and one of his most legendary is his ‘Return of the Mac’. It’s a burger, but it’s pizza — and always a fan favorite when Sean has it on the menu. He’s doing just that starting today as part of Creative Loafing’s Tampa Bay Burger Week — which is ten days of burger specials at local restaurants through November 23rd, with a portion of proceeds benefitting Feeding Tampa Bay. He also shared how he turns pepperoni slices from a topping into an awesome appetizer.
