11/20/15: Media Roundtable Week In Review; Dirty Dozen Brass Band; Chef Kevin Sbraga

Media Roundtable Week in Review Logo

We discuss the week's top news stories with our roundtable of local journalists: Ron Littlepage, Florida-Times Union columnist; Fred Matthews, Examiner blogger; Matt Shaw, Folio Weekly editor; and Tim Gibbons, Jacksonville Business Journal editor.

Topics include Mayor Lenny Curry and Gov. Rick Scott asking Congress to stop plans to accept Syrian refugees following the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, the first of several community conversations about whether Jacksonville should expand anti-discrimiation laws to cover LGBT citizens, and more.

Dirty Dozen Brass Band member Roger Lewis joins us for a short preview of the band's performance at Jacksonville's Ritz Theatre this weekend.

And we speak with restaurateur and Top Chef winner Kevin Sbraga about his new restaurant in Jacksonville's Brooklyn neighborhood, Sbraga & Company.
