Get ready to eat your way around the world without ever leaving Springfield. 🌍🌮🍜

In this episode, Joy Robertson heads to Metro Eats, where food truck dreams, farmers market finds, and community vibes collide. Founder Christina Shellhart shares how she turned 10 acres on West Sunshine into a bustling hub of global cuisine and live entertainment, complete with 15+ food trucks, an all-day bar, a farmers market, and future plans for a haunted forest (yes, really).

From Taiwanese snow and African goat stew to barbecue, boba, and bubble tea, Christina’s vision is all about supporting passionate local chefs and letting food tell the story. Plus, with a bee sanctuary on-site, there’s something sweet in every corner. Come hungry and stay for the live jazz, vintage markets, and maybe even a legendary Bloody Mary from The Warehouse Bar. There’s nothing else like it in the Ozarks.
