“We try to keep profit for everybody, like local businesses, and our local business here,” said Jessica Turner, adding that Chewning’s loaded nachos are their biggest seller.
“It’s got chips, barbecued chili, sour cream, cheese, a little bit of everything,” she said they enjoy serving their hometown. “It’s nice to see different people from around everywhere.”
