Joy Robertson makes a pit stop at Kad-E-Korner, the little gas-station-turned-restaurant north of Springfield that’s serving up big-time flavor and small-town charm.

She sits down with current owner Martha and former owner Coleen to dish on 80+ years of history, famous hand-curled fries, and burgers so good people plan road trips around them. 🍔 You’ll hear how Martha went from customer to owner (thanks to a fateful plate of bacon), why locals call this place a second home, and how “wine and worms” somehow makes perfect sense here. Add in live music nights, a Sunday farmers market, and a booth made famous by Chappell Roan, and you’ve got one unforgettable Ozarks story. ✨
