  • Good Food Doing Good

    In this episode we stay close to home and visit two great diners, Park's Kitchen in Amesville, Ohio and Triple Nickel Diner in Chesterhill, Ohio. Both locally owned places serve local food, hire local folks, and contribute to the community--and the food is pretty special as well.

    In Lynch, Kentucky the coal companies have left, houses have been abandoned, schools and stores closed. But despite all this the folks at Backroads of Appalachia have a plan. By sponsoring road rallies and events they bring thousands of people to Harlan County and the fall out has created new jobs and new businesses. Bailey’s Hogie Shop and The General Store at Creek Crossing are two of the businesses we’ll visit in this episode.

  • Fill ‘er Up!
    The food writer Michael Pollan cautions us to never get our food where we fill up our cars.  But maybe he has never been to Café Neo, the Emmaville Café, and the Farmhouse Restaurant—great diners located in gas stations that we take you to in this episode.  We also stop by Cowgirl Pizza - a laundromat where you can get a great pizza and cold beer.

Then it is on to Petosi, Wisconsin and the Petosi Brewery where we meet the people behind the resurrection of a local brewery that also houses the world’s best beer museum.
