Listen to the Audible Original “Summer in Argyle,” written by Nate Odenkirk and Bob Odenkirk, and experience the meat-induced madness in person (March 11-13) at Banger’s Sausage House and Beer Garden where there’s a giant statue of Bob in character as the Town Narrator. If you’re hungry on Rainey Street look for roaming hot dog carts packed with free merch and gourmet dogs.

SUPER BIG STATUE FOR A SMALL TOWN’S STORY
