👀 WEEKLY PIE PEEK 👀

Lucas is behind this week's creation, and this one might take you straight back to an old-school soda fountain. 🥧🥤

Think a frosty classic, a little nostalgia, and that familiar flavor you might remember sipping through a straw.

Got a guess? Drop it below!

👋 HAVE YOU MET BILL? 👋

Well, how about a whole group of Bills? 😂

A crew of Bill-sized Whatcha Smokin' raving fans stopped by our Iowa State Fair stand Wednesday, and Gwen couldn't pass up the chance to grab a photo with the whole bunch.

Thank you kindly, Bills, for stopping by, sharing some laughs, and making our day a little more fun. Y'all are officially some of our favorite Bills.
