It was a weird week. Interview 1 fell through. Interview 2 had to back out (we sort of forgive her, but made her promise to reschedule), so Nick called his buddy, Nigel Woodbury, to see if he'd stop by for a chat. It was supposed to coincide with Kansas City's Restaurant Week and be all about Lee's Summit-based food and drink. That worked, sort of. But there's also some good stuff about this local ambassador's path to Lee's Summit and a love of story telling that still drives him.
