Hello there- hope this finds you warm and dry! I’m John Engleman and welcome to this week’s edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast. This week, we’re talking with Dustin Simmons, Co-owner and Executive Chef of Flashback Pizza & Milkshakes in Rogers, but before we talk to him?!?!
FOOD NEWS!!
I want to start with this. Your local restaurants and bars have taken a hit the last 5 days. Some have opened, but most folks haven’t gotten out because of the roads... and I get it. But as the conditions improve, please consider getting out to local restaurants and bars, as your favorite establishments and servers have taken a pretty big hit. There’s no better time to get out and support them than now and isn’t it about time to have someone else cook, anyway?!?!
Flashback Pizza and Milkshake Co-owner and Executive Chef Dustin Simmons is a Rogers native and wanted to be a rockstar. Hey, at least he tried. He also did a stint in retail ownership but then went to Brightwater and that’s where he found his calling. His favorite job was his first one, he’ll tell you what that was. Also, how did Flashback Pizza and Shakes come up with their concept? Finally, they had their soft opening the day before the Rogers tornadoes hit. They paused everything help the community. Dustin tells those stories and more next here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.
