Episode 84: The best barista in America will serve you now (Darcy Todd, 2024 Starbucks North America Barista Champion)

Darcy Todd (Woodland West Church of Christ, Arlington, Texas) is the 2024 Starbucks North America Barista Champion. She recently beat out 17,000 Starbucks baristas for the title. In this episode, she'll not only tell the story of how she did it, she'll explain how working in a Starbucks is not so different from working in a church (one with exceptional coffee!). She'll even throw in a few suggestions for special (non-menu) drinks you should try next time you're at Starbucks.Link to The Christian Chronicle's announcement of Darcy Todd's big win in the Starbucks barista competitionLink to the Starbucks company magazine story about DarcyLink to Nehemiah Coffee Co.
