Recently a colleague from SEEU (South East European University - https://www.seeu.edu.mk/) -- Blerton Zejneli -- connected me with Atlas Corps Fellow Edison Frangu.
Edison Frangu was in the U.S. (Washington, DC) as an Atlas Corps Fellow, serving with OpenGovHub (see http://opengovhub.org/ourteam/).
Edison was in Florida with the Mayor of Klos municipality (Albania) and was assisting the Mayor, the Honorable Basir Cupa, with arranging visits with municipalities in the Tampa Bay region.
After visiting the City Halls of Madeira Beach and Pinellas Park, we enjoyed a delicious dinner at
Jessi's Restaurant
in Pinellas Park. Owner Jason Sulisufay is a business leader in Pinellas Park and also active in the Albanian diaspora. The restaurant menu is quite diverse - and features mostly "American" style cuisine. However, I was so happy to sample some Albanian dishes as a part of this sampler (like the qofte/meatballs) and to bring home some cheese pie similar to my daughter's favorite burek.
