Joy is turning up the heat this week at one of Springfield’s most beloved spots: Crosstown BBQ! She dives into the "low-and-slow" life to chat about the family history behind the restaurant and even some fun topics like Chiefs football and an unexpected passion for electric football. It’s a savory, honest deep dive into the heart and soul that fuels every bite. 🍖🔥

Beyond the grill, Joy talks with the owner about the future, including thoughts on possible retirement and a special moment where he performed an original song about the restaurant live on stage at the Juanita K. Hammons Hall. Grab a stack of napkins and join Joy for this flavor-packed celebration of one of our favorite local institutions—it’s a smoky, heartfelt adventure you won’t want to miss! 😋🍽️
