CLEVELAND — It's a whole lot of full circle moments, with an exclusive interview on this week's 3 Things to Know podcast. Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere (RAKE) founder Ricky Smith comes back on location at Welcome to the Farm in the Flats to celebrate the launch of his Really Amazing Food Truck (RAFT), 14 years in the making.
Ricky, who was our second guest when the podcast launched in November 2020 in the peek of the pandemic, comes back now as our first in-person guest, for our first on-location podcast.
Ricky and Stephanie discuss the backstory leading up to the food truck launch, how it furthers the RAKE mission, how celebrity chef Michael Symon got involved in designing the menu (scroll down to see his special surprise shoutout to Ricky), and how the truck ended up parked outside of Chase Rice's country music venue and bar.
Plus, Ricky and Stephanie share what you Need to Know in NEO about when the food truck will be open for business, and why RAFT is A Good Follow on Twitter and Instagram.
