Ep. 103 Today's Peep Sizzles with Rib Cook-Off Judging, Discovers DNA Wine Lounge thanks to Local Artist Clemon Charles, Dives into Tim Glassburn's Magical Antique Arcade Wonderland "Secret Town Arcade", and we Twang the Golden Hits!

What does it take to be a rib judge at the Placer County Fair? Find out as we celebrate our 103rd episode on Pat's Peeps with a smoky, savory tale from the fairgrounds of Northern California. I share my fourth-time experience evaluating tender, mouthwatering ribs, and why taste, look, and tenderness matter so much. Along the way, I celebrate local heroes like Alfonso from Southgate Glass, whose craftsmanship on my French doors is a testament to the value of supporting small businesses. Plus, you'll hear about my adventures at the DNA Wine Lounge in Granite Bay, soaking in the smooth sounds of Clemon Charles. But the fun doesn't stop with food and music. This episode also introduces you to the magical world of the Secret Town Arcade, curated by the passionate Tim Glassburn. Imagine rare jukeboxes, antique fortune tellers, and even a greyhound race game—all gems from a bygone era. From quirky Sega gunfight games to a Charlie Chaplin-themed mechanical scene, Tim's incredible collection of vintage arcade machines is a nostalgic treasure trove that must be heard to be believed. Tune in for a captivating exploration of ribs, French doors, and vintage arcade wonders that you won't want to miss!
