Mikey and Rinne Eat In! on Flavors Unknown

In today’s episode, I talk to Mikey and Rinne, hosts of the podcast Mikey & Rinne Eat In. Rinne is an acupuncturist and herbalist and Mickey is a CIA graduate and food consultant. As passionate Portland-based foodies, the couple share new recipes, talk about exciting ingredients, and discuss food history and politics on their show. 

You’ll hear about the biggest life project they’re about to take on, and how it’s influencing what they’re eating, prepping, and painting on their walls. You’ll share plenty of laughs as they talk about their podcast and some of the guests they’ve welcomed to the show. You’ll also learn about the fascinating worlds of a food consultant and an herbalist, and how the common thread of food connects us all.
