Summary
It’s the moment our listeners have been waiting for! In this special AirVenture 2025 episode, we sit down with Ritchie , the culinary mastermind behind the Cheese Curd Taco —the unofficial fuel (and obsession) of the Flying Midwest Podcast. We dive deep into the origin story of this legendary creation: how it came to be, the inspiration behind combining Wisconsin cheese curds with a taco, and the journey from a fun idea to an AirVenture icon. Along the way, Ritchie shares behind-the-scenes stories, the challenges of turning a quirky snack into a fan favorite, and what it’s like seeing attendees line up year after year just for that perfect bite. Whether you’ve been chasing cheese curds at the show or just love great aviation-adjacent stories, this episode is packed with laughs, insight, and a little extra hunger for your next AirVenture adventure.
