In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns is joined by Jeremiah and Kathryn Lewis, the duo behind Spurzile’s Gourmet Butter. They share the unique story of how a late-night craving for a “better” grilled cheese sandwich accidentally launched a thriving local business.
Jeremiah and Kathryn explain the meaning behind the name “Spurzile”—a combination of family names that represents the intertwining of their Greek and Haitian roots. What began as a personal quest for flavor has evolved into a mission to bring all-natural, preservative-free gourmet butters and artisanal cookies to the Lakeland community.
Whether you’re a foodie looking to take your home cooking to “Flavor Town” or a supporter of local startups, Jeremiah and Kathryn’s story is a delicious example of Lakeland’s entrepreneurial spirit. 94
