This episode of F + K is about a Rhode Island food pioneer, who has redesigned throughout the years the culinary landscape of the state. Well, many years have gone by since 1969. Tony’s Colonial Foods is still on 311 Atwells Avenue, the business is now in the hands of his lovely daughter, who continues with the same intensity and quality-driven philosophy. She can always rely on her father to open the doors at 8.30 am, every single day. She can always rely on him to be behind the counter, educating consumers on the new flavors and the latest pasta sensation. Tony will turn 85 in October 2020. The journey filled with anxiety and uncertainties in 1955, developed into an immeasurable success, one that he shares with his omnipresent wife Elina, who has stood by him in any weather.
