Chewing the Fat with Jenuine Coffee

Jen from Jenuine Coffee joined Meredith and Cassandra for this episode, adding her unique perspective to this funny discussion!

In this episode of Chewing the Fat, we take listeners on a journey into the origins of (mostly) food-related phrases, exploring their history, meanings, and cultural significance. The episode is filled with fascinating tidbits and plenty of laughs as the trio brews up lively discussions over a virtual "Cup O' Joe." And as always, Meredith accidentally mixes up her words, and we have a big laugh!
