Bruno Serato, owner of the Anaheim White House Restaurant and
founder of
Caterina's Club, feeds literally thousands of children and families
every day, and he's
raising money so his Caterina's foundation can continue feeding
literally thousands
every day who would otherwise go hungry. And he joins us today to
talk about it.
Just last week, SoCal powerhouse radio station #KFIam640 (where my
husband hosts
the #JohnKobyltShow), teamed up with Bruno, Smart & Final, Wendy's,
and De Cecco
pasta to raise money and bunches of pasta and sauce so Bruno could
continue doing
what he does best - feeding hungry people. And the mission has been
affectionately
called #Pastathon.
Already, they've raised close to $1-million dollars, and the
campaign is still going, and
he'll talk about how you can help. Now that's A LOT of Pasta!
Bruno has become a friend over the years, and many of us call him a
saint. His
generosity was inspired by his mom, Caterina, who gave him the
inspiration to feed
hungry children in nearby Anaheim. He took the challenge, and so
many years later,
he’s been recognized by Time Magazine, CNN Heros, the Pope, and
others around the
globe.
We will talk with Bruno about his humble beginnings before moving
to the United
States, where his restaurant quickly became a fixture in Southern
California. But he’s
faced plenty of tough times, too, like when his restaurant burned
to the ground a few
years ago, and his first thought was, “how will I feed the
children.” He rebuilt, and came
back stronger than ever.
Please join me in welcoming Bruno Serato on all audio and video
platforms of
#DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and our
#LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your
host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and I thank you for joining me.
