In this quick but punchy episode, Ben sits down with John Roots, owner of Natty Oaks in West Allis a man who has survived the wild ride of restaurant ownership, community building, and more dad jokes than any human should legally be allowed to use.

John breaks down what makes West Allis so special, why community matters, and what D-B-A-B means, and what every restaurateur/bar owner learns sooner or later. 👀

Oh, and did I mention the bad dad jokes? Yeah… there are plenty. So brace yourself.
