Small Bites Radio Episode 204 – Mike DeJong (Nothing Bundt Cakes) and Lisa Steele of Fresh Eggs Daily

Posted on March 11, 2026 by Bluejeanfood

First up, we’re talking cake (with a hole in the middle 😉) with Mike DeJong, franchise owner of Nothing Bundt Cakes. Mike brings the perfect blend of fun and real-world business experience to the show. As a successful hospitality and retail operations leader and the author of Grow Fast – Smart: Freedom. Mike helps franchisees escape the daily grind and build systems that allow their businesses (and teams) to thrive.

He is a Platinum Partner with Tony Robbins method, coaching business owners on how to move from being controlled by their business to creating scalable success and strong company culture. With insight from working alongside a network of 500+ franchise locations, Mike shares what it really takes to build a team-driven, guest-focused food business. And yes… we had to ask the important question:
Is selling cakes with a giant hole in the middle a brilliant batter-saving strategy… or does he just really hate the center of cakes? 😄

Then we welcome back a familiar voice to the show! Lisa Steele of Fresh Eggs Daily returns to celebrate the 10th Anniversary Edition of her bestselling book Gardening With Chickens launching March 17. Lisa first joined Small Bites Radio when the original book debuted 10 years (and 50,000 copies!) ago, and she’s back to share how much she’s learned since then.

Now living in Maine after moving from Virginia, Lisa talks about how her gardening and chicken keeping adapted from a warm climate to a cooler one and why the book deserved a completely refreshed edition. The new release includes:

🌱 Climate-specific guidance for both hot and cold regions
📊 Brand-new tutorials and quick-reference charts
📖 Clear headnotes for easier use
🌿 Streamlined, practical advice with less repetition
📸 Completely new, vibrant photography throughout

With garden planning season underway, it’s the perfect time to rethink how your vegetable beds and chicken flocks can work together!

🐓 Get a sneak peek of the book here:

Kauffman’s Bar‑B‑Que Restaurant – Bethel, PA

Posted on February 10, 2026 by Bluejeanfood

Had a seriously crave-worthy meal at Kauffman’s Bar‑B‑Que Restaurant in Bethel, PA. I went all out with their juicy rotisserie-style chicken, crispy fried oysters, crab cake, and an order of fries, and it was a total flavor explosion. What sealed the deal was the all-you-can-eat salad bar with so many fresh veggies, breads, and house-made dressings to round out the meal, all at a very affordable price.

This place is a beloved Berks County tradition, family-run since 1979, with roots stretching back even further, and still serving that famous, slightly sweet-and-salty chicken that’s just perfect. The dining room got a modern facelift recently with a vintage farmhouse vibe with blue and stone accents, updated seating and yet it still feels like home. Plus, they’ve turned their setting into an event-worthy destination with mini‑golf, an ice cream stand, and even space for large gatherings.

Every meal comes cafeteria-style, so you load up your tray, grab your salad bar bowl, and choose from all those comforting dishes and is great for families. The friendly service, laid-back atmosphere, and that unbeatable value make this place a must-visit. If you’re looking for down-home comfort food with plenty of variety and charm, this is it. Your taste buds (and wallet) will definitely be thanking you.

Pic‑A‑Lilli Inn – Shamong, NJ

Had an absolutely amazing meal at Pic‑A‑Lilli Inn in Shamong, NJ with hands down some of the best wings in South Jersey! I enjoyed an order of their famous wings paired with fries and every bite hit just right. The wings are known for being crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside, served whole, and slathered in incredibly flavorful sauces. As one local fan put it on Tripadvisor:

“BEST WINGS IVE EVER HAD. Without sauce, with sauce, the small ones, the large ones—every bite was amazing.” 

This place has a legendary reputation for its wings and consistently rated as the top spot in South Jersey for wing lovers, thanks to its crispy coating, perfectly balanced sauces, and classic pub-style atmosphere.

Why Pic‑A‑Lilli Inn is a must‑visit:

Wings that deliver on crisp, juicy, and flavorful.
A welcoming, historic vibe—family-owned since the 1920s, with a cozy pub feel that just works 
Friendly, laid-back service and menu specials
