Brewing, suds, success

There's much to do in creating a new restaurant concept, especially when it involves renovating a dilapidated 100-year-old building.

From developing new recipes to choosing a bourbon, Tampa restaurateur Richard Gonzmart and General Manager Keith Sedita have been hard at work building Ulele Native-Inspired Foods and Spirits.

The 230-seat restaurant, expected to open in the spring, is also intended to spur redevelopment in blighted Tampa Heights, a neighborhood on downtown's northern edge.
