You've most likely noticed Dan Yoder's handy work when driving through Madison.

Because we're traveling to a surprising Midwestern city to explore what makes it one of the most fascinating food cities in the country. Last June, host Aislyn Greene traveled to Madison, Wisconsin, and was surprised by what she found: A refreshingly progressive, highly bikeable, very outdoorsy, and (best yet), delicious city. If you're a food-motivated traveler, you're likely always looking for the next great spot. And as she ate her way Madison, Aislyn wondered: Why aren't more people talking about Madison?

Intuition and inspiration: where does that sit in your New Year's resolutions, goals, or intentions that you set for 2024? There is so much pressure to set intentions or goals at the beginning of the year. I suspect many people feel pressured into coming up with something, and it's invariably dumped by the middle of January. Why is it so difficult to set a meaningful, achievable goal at this time of year? In this podcast, we look at the idea that the best goals come from intuition. They come out of inspiration, and when those things are in alignment, it's only a matter of doing. Tomorrow is the 8th of Jan, and for many, it is the first full week back at work, last week was about going through the motions. Well, it was when I was in corporate. Actually, it was about preparing for a trip to Paris to look at Christmas Decorations. Yes, 20 years back, I finished Christmas only to go back to work and start looking at Christmas. Thankfully, I have left Christmas decoration planning behind, but I still retain one discovery from that time. Kings Cake. Kings Cake, Intuition and Inspiration. In the Harvey House, Christmas ends on the 5th of January at King's Night, where we have a King's dinner to celebrate the end of the 12 days of Christmas and to explore intuition and wisdom for the coming year and eat Kings Cake. Check out the show and hear the story of how I discovered King's Cake. But more the point, today's conversation is all about how we bring our intuition and inspiration into our lives to align with our goals and intentions. That is the path towards living a good life.

Ray entered Restoration Ministries when it became very clear to him that God called him to be here. After graduating from Harvey House in 1989, he worked an outside job while continuing to live at Harvey House. He eventually became the Harvey House Director. In 1997, when the executive director left for another position, Ray was entrusted as Acting Director for months until the board realized he was the best man for the job. He was named Executive Director of Restoration Ministries in 1998. Since then, Ray has helped over 200 men and women successfully complete their recovery programs. In 1991, Ray started a youth group for teenagers in Harvey and surrounding suburbs, and he became a youth pastor at Spirit of God Fellowship in South Holland. He was also instrumental in starting Restoration Ministries' youth outreach programs. Ray is an elected member of Thornton Township District 205 School Board, representing the many families who entrust in him their children's education. In May of 2020, Ray suffered a stroke. When his family asked for prayers on social media, more than a thousand replied that they were praying for him. People who Ray had cared for, mentored, and inspired over the years—plus their families, their children, and friends—all prayed for Ray's recovery. Ray is back spending three days a week in his office, counseling Harvey House residents.
Men may have done the survey work and laid the track, but there's a lot more to a railroad than steel rails and flanged wheels. In this episode, author and western researcher Chris Enss describes the role women have played in railroading, dating from the industry's earliest times. Women were among the first telegraphers, as well as inventors of game-changing devices like the crossing gate and refrigerator car, plus creators of a myriad of inventions and means to make travel more safe and comfortable. Some worked to create a mystic allure of the West as a destination, building an interest in vacation train travel, even serving as railroad-employed tour guides at the destination. Not all women involved with the trains were on the railroad payroll, but the robbers and ladies of negotiable virtue all fit into the story as well. Chris Enss is a New York Times best selling author who has written over fifty books about women of the West, and was the recipient of the Will Rogers Medallion Award for best nonfiction Western for 2015. Chris Enss book on this subject is called "Iron Women" and is available on Amazon.

And as he continues to struggle with the Peloton, Andy talks about how he needs to force himself through to get to the other side - and how Paul was trying to teach the Philippians a similar message.

All aboard! This week, The Feast is riding the rails with an icon of American dining, the Harvey House. Founded by Fred Harvey in the 1870s, Harvey Houses marked the first attempt to provide standardized high quality dining experiences to passengers travelling the American West by rail. We'll also take a look at Harvey's army of waitresses, the Harvey Girls, who served the best steak and coffee from Leavenworth to Los Angeles. Find out how Fred Harvey got his start in railroad restaurants and how this chain of eating houses (as well as eventual hotels) became a fixture of American life in the 19th and 20th century, found everywhere from the bottom of the Grand Canyon to Disneyland!

We tackle one of the big Albuquerque history subjects: the Alvarado Hotel. For over 60 years, this Harvey House served as the jewel of Albuquerque's Downtown, until it was torn down by short-sighted developers in the 1970s. We look at the history behind this long-lamented landmark. We also launch a new segment where we talk to local musicians about their Albuquerque experience! First up: Chicharra!
Do you know the 1946 musical “The Harvey Girls?” It stars Judy Garland and in the film she sings one of the most famous show tunes of all times “On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe.” The movie is about Harvey House restaurants and the young women in their starched, white aprons and cuffs who went out west to feed hungry train travelers. The train must be fed, they sang in the movie. In fact, millions of people needed to be fed and, wouldn’t you know it, we figured out how to do it fast right here in Kansas.
In Eating Across America, Kim and Leigh talk about diners and more specifically, the Harvey House concept helps to create travel communities and good manners.To start the conversation, Leigh recalls how her hometown diner played a role in community building. She shares the definition of a diner from the sounds of conversation, diner coffee culture, serveware, and interior decor.In an effort to understand diner culture, she discusses the evolution of the diner from a small lunch wagon in Rhode Island to pre-manufactured diners fabricated by the Worcester Lunch Car and Carriage Manufacturing Company. These small mom-and-pop shops have weathered two World Wars, the Great Depression, by skillfully adapting themselves to the wants and needs of their communities.A location for politicians to meet constituents, scenes from popular movies, and even subjects for songs and pieces of art, the diner has become an American icon. A place where your food comes quickly, but the conversations are slow and easy.To continue with the theme of eating in community, Kim dives into an establishment whose purpose was to provide an eating service to railway passengers.After testing two locations along the Kansas Pacific Railway line, Fred Harvey determined that there was a market for a high quality food service for people on the railways. This led to the development of the Harvey Houses that would dot the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway line from Kansas to Arizona. These eating houses offered a consistently high quality experience in a very short amount of time making it easy for passengers to enjoy white table cloth experience in the time it took the train to take on necessary fuel and/or water. The service also helped to develop rail travel and would ultimately result in dining cars being introduced to passenger trains.If you'd like to visit one of the still-standing Harvey Houses, visit La Posada in Winslow, Arizona which is also a Harvey House museum. Whether it's an American diner or an iteration of the Harvey House, these eateries provide travelers with a sense of familiarity.We would love to connect with youAsWeEat.com, on Instagram @asweeat, join our new As We Eat community on Facebook, or subscribe to the As We Eat Journal.Do you have a great idea
