Description

The Calvert City Drive-In first opened in the 1950s and entertained families for decades until closing after the 2021 season, following the passing of longtime owner Ruth Evelyn Harrington. In 2023, Seth and Tabitha Manea purchased the property and reopened the drive-in, keeping its famous burgers and vintage charm alive for a new generation.

In this episode, Seth shares the story of their journey, from honoring the Harrington family’s legacy to learning the ropes of the drive-in business and reconnecting the community with this beloved summertime tradition.
