About this listen
Award-winning host and author Todd Newton travels to Hays, Kansas—once home to Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill Cody, and Calamity Jane—to discover Sip n Spin, a restaurant with an incredible backstory. Owner and chef Eric Shuette shares how this historic building evolved from frontier-era rumors to laundromat to beloved local eatery, all while serving up legendary burgers and world-famous wings.
Explore the fascinating dual history of Hays, from its violent Wild West days when saloons and brothels lined the streets, to its transformation by Volga German immigrants who built the beautiful limestone churches that still stand today. Discover historical artifacts uncovered in the building, learn the stories behind Eric's signature menu items, and find out why this authentic Kansas town attracts food lovers and history buffs alike.
Whether you're planning a Kansas road trip, love American frontier history, or just want to hear about incredible small-town restaurants where the owner cooks your meal himself, this episode delivers unforgettable stories and mouth-watering descriptions that'll have you craving both the food and the experience.
