Episode 015 - Nathan Colombo (WV Pepperoni Rolls)

Wow! What a surprisingly fun conversation. Not that any of us expected a bad one, but when you think you're about to record an episode about pepperoni rolls... well... you wonder if there will be a whole lot to talk about, but there absolutely was! This was a great conversation we had with a great guy. Hope to have you back on soon Nathan.

Topics Covered: Pepperoni Rolls and their definition, FDA Regulations, the debate of "are Pepperoni Rolls a gas station food?", the huge Italian Population of WV, Jay Rockefeller, the history of the Pep Roll, the tried reclassification of 1987, Rogers and Mazza and their petition, the "plume" of PEP rolls, your Pep Roll routine, Sheets vs. Wawa, the 12 string universal pedal steel guitar and many more!

And here, the elusive 12 string universal pedal steel guitar played by a very stern-faced individual (not Nathan).
