In this episode of The Fargo Five, we dive into Fargo favorites with our guest, Scott Moen, the manager at the Moorhead American Legion Post 21. We start with a light-hearted introduction where Conrad faces the common challenge of live broadcasting-forgetting details on air, leading to a humorous recollection of calling a guest by the wrong name multiple times. Despite these minor hiccups, Conrad and Scott embark on an engaging conversation about Fargo's best spots and Scott's personal favorites.
Scott begins by revealing his go-to place for an unplanned dinner out-Texas Roadhouse. He explains his love for their prime rib, a dish that's often sold out if you don't arrive early. This leads to a broader discussion about the intricacies of cooking and the acceptance of personal preferences, even if they deviate from the norm, such as Conrad's admission that he doesn't like steak and prefers ribs instead.
Moving on to more professional matters, Scott talks about his involvement with local organizations. As a manager deeply embedded in the community, he frequently networks through the Moorhead Business Association (MBA). He highlights the welcoming and supportive nature of the MBA, describing it as a crucial part of his professional life. The MBA meets weekly at the Legion, providing a relaxed environment for business owners from as far as Jamestown and Fergus Falls to connect and collaborate. Conrad adds his own positive experiences with the MBA, emphasizing its unique vibe compared to other business groups like the Fargo Chamber.
When discussing favorite meeting spots, Scott candidly admits that he prefers the American Legion, where he spends most of his time. Whether for coffee or a beer, the Legion serves as a central hub for Scott's interactions. This preference ties back to his role as manager and the comfort he finds in familiar surroundings.
The conversation then shifts to grocery shopping strategies, revealing another layer of Scott's personal life. While he doesn't do the shopping himself, he acknowledges his wife's preference for Aldi and Cashwise. This division of labor is a common theme in many households, including Conrad's, who shares his own experiences of managing tasks with his self-employed wife.
Scott also touches on his caffeine habits, having given up coffee and soda, opting instead for Crystal Light. This leads to a discussion about maintaining energy and focus without relying on traditional stimulants.
In a reflective moment, Scott describes how he spends his leisure time. For him, relaxation means spending quality time with family, especially his grandkids. This simple yet fulfilling way of recharging resonates with Conrad, who also values low-key days filled with comfort and family.
As the show wraps up, Scott provides information on how listeners can reach him and learn more about the services offered at the Moorhead American Legion. Conrad encourages listeners to subscribe and stay connected, ensuring they never miss an episode of The Fargo Five.
