Happy 5 years to Rendezvous Junction Brewing Company, as they turned 5 this weekend! Speaking of Rendezvous, in this week's Flavors Flashback, we go back to last year's podcast with them and hear about Owner Mike Peerson health problems before they opened. They were worse than you could imagine. Adam and Melissa Milsap grew up in Springfield, Missouri, got married there and started urban farming there in what wasn't a good place. In fact, it was the 2nd worst area in Springfield, and at times could be dangerous. You'll hear the story about how the community and the city gathered and rallied for them to be able to change the area into a farm! And how did they end up in Northwest Arkansas? It's hard to leave a place you love, especially one that's been home for your whole life. They'll tell the story. They'll talk about how they found their land in Bentonville-or Bentonvista as they call it. And on the food side? We'll hear what they're growing, and also? They have a Chef-driven food truck on-site, and it's popular. I think I know why, as I had an all-local egg and chorizo biscuit from there and it was an absolute flavor-bomb. Chef Simon talks about that in the food segment, as well as chef dinners there. In the creek. True story, and you'll hear all about it from them next here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast.

Sidenote for you, there's some salty language in this Flashback, so earmuffs for the kids!!!. Speaking of Covid, that changed the career trajectory for JW Gerike. By trade, he was a physical therapist in Ft. Worth, but Covid hit, and his hours weren't conducive to family life. Hear him talk about why he picked coffee. What were his first steps? Have you seen his 1979 Peugeot Coffee Van? Funny story about how he acquired that. At least he can laugh about it now. Speaking of, once getting established, he got some pretty cool gigs in Texas, including supplying coffee on a movie set. You won't believe which one. And then, the move to Bella Vista. How did they find it, and why did they make the move? And finally, after a very popular trailer at Tanyard Creek, they open a storefront. Some great stories coming your way in this edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast!

In this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we're in Bentonville talking to Rebecca & Jay Davitt, the owners of Stoic Brews Alternative, but before we hear from them?! FOOD NEWS!! We hear from Mallory Files, who sold Ozark Charcuterie & Wine Bar in Fayetteville and grand opened Ozark Charcuterie in Rogers in back-to-back days.

In today's Flavors Flashback, Mallory Files tells us what it was like to go viral back in 2024! Rebecca and Jay Davitt started Stoic Brews Alternative back in March of 2025. For those that don't know, Stoic brews gluten-free beer, and all their food is gluten-free as well. Rebecca has been on a gluten-free diet for a decade and Jay wanted to brew beer. Rebecca didn't want to do it until she found out that she could do it gluten-free, and with her food science background, a monster was created! Speaking of which, Rebecca struggled with imposter syndrome. She'll tell you why. Also, how did they find such a great spot? It's the old Pedaler's Pub, and they'll tell you that story. Finally, you don't know what you don't know. They'll talk about being ill-prepared to go through the emotions of seeing people have their first beer in over a decade because of gluten allergies and tear up.

Kentedra Kentrice, or Keke, moved to Northwest Arkansas to work for Walmart after working for them in the Atlanta area. Once here, she realized that Bentonville was missing something. A place where you can go out, not have to pay an arm and a leg, and just hang with some good food and drink. She talks about her professional past, her FIRST profession (you'll never guess), and what happened in the week leading up to opening Kou'Sins. There was some panic involved and she'll talk about how she got the doors open, and that's on this edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast.

Caroline Glover took a fascinating path to the pro kitchen. Leaving college after two years, she found herself working in the kitchen at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park, which led her to the Culinary Institute of America, then to New York City, and finally to Colorado where she opened Annette restaurant a decade ago, followed two and a half years ago by Traveling Mercies Cocktails & Oysters, both in Aurora, Colorado, just over the Denver city line.  Go check out the new zine, Mother Sauce, discussed in this episode--and sign up for their mailing list!

Well hello there, and welcome to this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast. I'm John Engleman- thanks for being here! This week, we're in downtown Rogers at Nola's Pantry where we talk with owner Alicen Rumsey and her daughter Melanie Keller, but before we sit with them?!?! FOOD NEWS!! Theo's has announced that they're closing their Rogers location. The artist formerly known as Bistro 16 in Springdale has announced that they'll be moving in. We hear about it from both owners. Speaking of Theo's, their owner is now the operator on The Leroy in Fayetteville. We'll hear what that means. The AQ Chicken House soft opens today. We'll hear about perfecting recipes with a few of their co-owners. Dixieland Crossing in Rogers had 2 new restaurants open this week! BITE at the Ramble in Fayetteville happens this Friday! Vagabond Coffee has announced the grand opening date for their brick and mortar! Happy 79th birthday to a true mainstay, Venesian Inn! Happy third anniversary to the Mad Rooster Beer Company! We've gotten word of when Fossil Cove's new spot in South Fayetteville hopes to open! Happy two-year anniversary to Gaskins on Emma! Hear why they originally didn't open their doors on time in today's Flavors Flashback! Absolute madness! Speaking of Gaskins, they're only a few weeks away from opening Gaskins Trattoria in downtown Springdale! Emilia's Kitchen in Fayetteville has closed. We'll tell you why. Alicen Rumsey started Nola's Pantry because of a hot sauce. Well, not really, but it prompted something in her, and she grew the idea further to open a specialty food store. That's not what it is now, but Alicen will explain that pivot. Speaking of that, if you look on their menu, you'll see influence of Alicen's daughter Melanie, who you'll also hear from. Finally, Alicen is a tweaker – no, not that kind, but she'll talk about the advantages and disadvantages of... tweaking. That and MUCH MORE is next here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.

This daily comedy show starts with America's latest accidental export: ranch dressing. Apparently visitors from overseas are treating Hidden Valley like it's some kind of forbidden miracle sauce, which naturally leads to TSA reminding everyone that ranch is, in fact, a liquid. Yes, this is apparently the timeline we live in.From there the gang admits way more than they probably should about their eating habits. Secret snack stashes. Bathroom snacks. Car snacks. Desk snacks. Entire bags of Doritos disappearing in one sitting. Pringles eaten like communion wafers. If you've ever looked at a family-size bag and thought, "Challenge accepted," congratulations—you'll fit right in.Things only get weirder when the conversation shifts into early-bird dinners, GERD, gout, Tums lingerie, and the universal struggle of realizing adulthood slowly turns everyone into someone's grandparents. Turns out eating at 4:30 isn't a personality flaw... it's just scheduling.The Food News somehow manages to get even more ridiculous as Crumbl's insanely sugary dirty sodas make an appearance, along with customers who somehow think adding nearly 150 grams of sugar to ten cans of Coke is a balanced lifestyle choice. We are both impressed and deeply concerned.Then Rafe delivers another unforgettable edition of the E-Memoriam, saying goodbye to catalytic converters after thieves strike local station vehicles, roasting the show's own narcissism, reliving the heartbreaking Little League roster disaster that crushed one eight-year-old's dreams, calling out "24/7" HVAC companies that apparently define time differently than the rest of us, and finally honoring the Kentucky Fried Chicken employee who tackled an armed robbery suspect like he was auditioning for the next Jason Statham movie.Naturally, the story escalates into a completely fake blockbuster trailer starring Jason Statham as Colonel Sanders and Marvin Diesel—the practical cousin nobody asked for but everyone somehow needed.It's another completely unhinged daily comedy show packed with weird news, sarcastic debates, food obsessions, pop culture nonsense, and the kind of conversations that somehow make perfect sense before 10 a.m.If you love hilarious stories, ridiculous hypotheticals, celebrity commentary, strange internet trends, and friends roasting each other nonstop, you've found your people.Thanks for listening to another daily comedy show from The Rizzuto Show.

What is the latest taste sensation at Kwik Trip?

For today's Weekday Update, we transitioned to some food news, a slip and a fall at a popular chain and a choking incident at a famous sandwich spot. 

Trumped Up Tomatoes Cost 40% More Tomatoes are about to get a lot more expensive, and most Americans have no idea why. This week, I retreat to the kitchen to make a comforting vegan tomato soup, but even there, politics has a way of finding us. The biggest inflation story in food right now isn't beef, eggs, or milk—it's tomatoes. Prices are rising fast, and policy decisions could make them climb even higher. So while we chop, stir, blend, and cook, we'll also talk about the real-world impact of politics on your grocery bill, along with the latest headlines from entertainment, current events, and the never-ending news cycle. Sometimes the best way to survive a chaotic week is with a warm bowl of soup and an honest conversation.
