Hello all, and welcome to this week’s edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, I’m John Engleman, thanks for being here.

Yesterday marked two years since I published my very first Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast. Thank you so much for joining along the way as these past 2 years have been and amazing journey and a true professional passion. I’m super-fortunate to be able to do this... Truly, thank you.

And I was also lucky to be able to sit down with Executive Chef Caleb Carter of Louise at Thaden Field. But before we talk to him?!?!
