September 2020: Hope on the Menu

TheBurg Podcast's September episode expands three stories from our magazine's "food issue"--and all three serve up a healthy helping of hope. Peter Leonard, CEO of Little Amps Coffee, explains how the Harrisburg-based business has stayed strong through this challenging year—and he even reveals Little Amps' big plans for expansion. When you consider Jason Meckes' title (Experience Development Director) at Visit Hershey & Harrisburg, you might wonder what kind of tourism experience is possible amid 2020's landscape, but he explains how he brewed one up—the Brew Barons Beer Trail. There's no question that the restaurant industry is struggling amid the pandemic. In order to help them, Carlisle's Phil George took a creative approach. His story is proof that one person can indeed make a difference. How do you describe the personality of Harrisburg? Editor Lawrance Binda tackles that question in his monthly feature, "The Most Harrisburg Thing"—and he serves up a smorgasbord in September. Meet some of the Harrisburg area's most fascinating people, and hear their own authentic stories, expanded from every month's magazine, on TheBurg Podcast—because there's always "more to the story."
