Amanda Yu-Nguyen, Barkuterie Boards

Humans have come to love charcuterie boards and grazing tables during the pandemic. But what about our furry friends? Well, Amanda came up with the perfect idea- CHARCUTERIE FOR DOGS! SO CUTE! Curating charcuterie boards for your dog, Amanda combined her passion for dogs and love of food, or vice versa, into the idea over text message! Each board is handmade and influenced by the popular world of charcuterie boards. Featured in the New York Times and growing rapidly, her business is one to watch in the world of entrepreneurship. Amanda joined us to discuss the founding process of her business, which launched last year in the height of the pandemic. Based out of Georgia, we learn how she sources natural and local products for her boards. Plus, we ask about differences in dog breeds, what treats are trending, and we hear about her adorable holiday boxes! Amanda also highlights how she partners with other local, small businesses to create a network of only the best dog products! We bark for joy at the end, playing a round of rapid fire to hear about her favorite dogs, misconceptions about dogs she wants to clear up, and her favorite cocktail (hint, it’s not a puppuccino)!
