Episode Description from the Publisher

Joy is grabbing a seat at one of the most eccentric and beloved spots in the 417&mdash;Casper&rsquo;s! She sits down with owner&nbsp;Shawn Kraft&nbsp;to discuss the history of this "burger and chili" landmark that has been a Springfield staple since 1909. Shawn shares the journey of taking over from the legendary Casper himself and the recent move to their new home on Glenstone.​​​​​​​The episode dives into the secrets behind their famous secret-recipe chili and the quirky, poster-covered atmosphere that makes every visit an experience. You&rsquo;ll hear about the "original" slider-style burgers, the famous sourdough bread, and why the "Casper&rsquo;s vibe" remains unchanged even after over a century. It&rsquo;s a perfect tribute to the comfort food and counter-culture spirit that keeps generations of locals coming back for more! 🍔✨🤘Thanks to our sponsors,&nbsp;Fazoli's,&nbsp;Jimm's Steakhouse and Pub, and <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__t.dripemail2.com_c_eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJhdWQiOiJkZXRvdXI
