Hot Plate: Sandwich Art

Welcome to another captivating episode of the Family Meal Podcast, where we uncover the stories and journeys of culinary connoisseurs, restaurant owners, and those who have a deep love for all things hospitality.
Our guest on this episode is Meredith Barry, a remarkable individual whose connection with the hospitality industry began at a young age. Meredith's early introduction to the world of hospitality came courtesy of her father, who entrusted her with various responsibilities at the country club he managed. However, it was the art of crafting tantalizing drinks for others that truly captivated Meredith's heart.
From her humble beginnings concocting mini-bottle beverages and Island Oasis Pina Coladas, Meredith's journey has led her to the pinnacle of the craft cocktail scene in the bustling city of Chicago, and then onto St. Louis. But for Meredith, it's always been about more than just mixing drinks; it's about creating an authentic and unforgettable experience.
Meredith's philosophy is grounded in the belief that the power of action, words, leadership, and unwavering consistency in expectations, commitments, and passions are essential in both her personal and professional life. Whether at home or in the workplace, she forges her path in the fiery crucible of passion, driven by love, respect, validation, and an unwavering commitment to every individual who crosses her threshold.
Join us in this episode as we sit down with Meredith Barry to explore her remarkable journey, the secrets behind her mixology expertise, and her profound dedication to creating exceptional moments for all who enter her world.
