Pop in the earbuds if the kids are around.\nThe Small Town Ruckus — Episode: Hot Springs, Hot Takes & Hotter Plates with Travis NayTracy, Kaid, and Casey are back to stir up another round of small-town shenanigans — and this week we're hauling our nonsense over the hill to Lava Hot Springs to chat with the one and only Travis Nay. Travis is the man behind Riverwalk Thai, Tilly's Pizzeria, and his most recent addition, The Chuckwagon Restaurant — which means he's feeding the masses, juggling kitchens, and somehow keeping his sanity while the tourists roll in by the tube-load.\nWe get into the real stuff: what it's actually like running multiple restaurants in a town that swells and shrinks with the seasons, how you go from slinging pad thai to pizza to chicken-fried steak without losing your mind, the secret menu items locals swear by, and what it takes to keep small-town eateries thriving when your cook just called in sick and there's a line out the door.\nExpect tangents. Expect laughter. Expect at least one story that makes you spit out your drink. The crew is in rare form, Travis hangs right in there with us, and the result is the kind of conversation that makes you wish you were sitting around the table with us.\n⚠️ Heads up: language is present. Pop in the earbuds if the kids are around.\nPour yourself something cold, settle in, and join the ruckus.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/e387A8X3TWdolE6WNj8DvwM3VbzI4JhgcR7kpaCrtGI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zYjhm/YjUyZDljNmRmNWJi/MjgxNDRiNzVlZmRh/N2NlNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
