FOODIE & THE BEAST: OCTOBER 19TH, 2025

We’re leaning into Year 18 with a lineup that covers plant-based living, bourbon craft, sweet strolls, and autumn rum to warm you. Let’s get into it on today’s Foodie & The Beast

Angela Yvonne — Vegan Pop Eats
Vegan 101 without the overwhelm: what “eating vegan” really means, plus the lifestyle side (beauty, skincare, clothing) what’s in, what’s out, and easy ways to start.
Viyas Sundaram — Middleburg Barrel Company (1787 Provenance Bourbon)
Tradition meets innovation: how 1787 Provenance is rethinking bourbon. We talk grain, barrels, blend philosophy and yes, we sip.
Iesha Holy — Georgetown Main Street
The 5th Annual Georgetown Cookie Tour (“The Sweetest Tour of Georgetown”): how it works, how to score the best bites, and why it’s become a neighborhood must.
Jordan Cotton, — Cotton & Reed
DC’s first rum distillery brings a tasting through an autumn-friendly lineup, rum styles demystified, and cocktail moves for sweater weather.

Plant-based clarity, a fresh bourbon lens, cookies on the move, and rum for the win we call that a balanced diet. Catch the replay wherever you get your podcasts or here.
