Poppys Italiano in Ponte Vedra Beach will be filmed for the America's Best Restaurants digital series on Friday, Nov. 20.
A production crew will be on-site at the A1A restaurant from 2 to 5 p.m., Action News Jax reported. The public and press are invited.
The filming is part of the ABR Roadshow, a traveling production by America's Best Restaurants, a media and marketing company headquartered in Florence, Ky.
The restaurant is a family operation. Husband-and-wife team Loros "Poppy" and Nicole Yousefzadeh founded Poppys Italiano on family recipes and shared meals. It has operated for more than 25 years in the Jacksonville and St. Augustine area. As the family grew, the founders' children joined the staff.
"At Poppys, you're not just a customer - you're family," Yousefzadeh said, according to Action News Jax.
The owners said the restaurant has served generations of local families. They expressed appreciation for continued support from the Jacksonville and Palm Valley communities.
Poppys Italiano is located at 832 A1A North, Suite 1. After filming, the finished episode will air across America's Best Restaurants' digital channels, with the premiere date to be announced on the Poppys Italiano Facebook page.
