All Roads Lead to Paulin's Provisions

What a tale these two old pals have to share with you.  Ben Skinner and Chris Barton were born and raised right here in La Crosse.  They fell in love with the restaurant world here in town and as their talents grew they moved to Minneapolis and then Seattle.  But restaurants can be brutal places to work, and they each have the scars to prove it.  So, they came back home and thought "Hey....why don't we put restaurant quality food in jars?".  So was born Paulin's Provisions.  If you like delicious food, bawdy laughter and straight forward social commentary, you'll love this conversation.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meet Lucas Herro.  I don't want to give away too much of his story so let's just say every single part of his life changed in a split second.  He was 22, now he's 32.  He was carefree, now he's in pain every day.  He was a firefighter, now he's an Olympian.  Check out this episode of Around River City and get to know Lucas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
