w/Chuck Nelson - Rustic Road - LIVE!

The final stop of our World Tour 26 brings us to Franks Diner where we sit down with Chuck Nelson, owner of Rustic Road, 5706 Sixth Ave. We talk with Chuck about his previous career, why Kenosha, and dig deep into his love life!

Rustic Road Brewing Company is Downtown Kenosha’s premiere craft brewer. They have 14 beers on tap with a rotating selection of their dozens of recipes – brewed right there in-house!

Like wings? Get there for their Happy Hour, Monday – Friday from 4pm-6pm, where you get THREE HOT FRESH CHICKEN WINGS FREE with every pint purchase! If that doesn’t satisfy your hunger, dive into Chuck’s Cheesesteak or their veggie tacos!

Live music is on at Rustic Road as well. Utilizing The Loft upstairs, check out some of Kenosha’s greatest local musicians blow the roof off the place!

There’s also Beer Bingo Wednesdays, Music Bingo Thursdays, and Trivia Fridays!

This episode was recorded live in front of a studio audience at Franks Diner in Downtown Kenosha on March 21, 2026.
