In the final episode of At the Bar, Kristin and Lindsay talk about diversity in the food industry. Kristin shares some of her earliest memories of food from her childhood and how it impacted her life—how flavors from different cultures were introduced to her at an early age. She also talks about how sutble the discrimination is in the food industry and the cultural appropriation of foods from different cultures.

Kristin and Lindsay chat with Meiko Temple, a Texas-based food blogger and the founder of Meiko and the Dish. She shares the story of how she left the corporate world to follow her passion for cooking by launching a blog. She also talks about her experiences as a Black woman in the food world, and why honoring the origins of each dish is critical for media and other bloggers. Meiko shares her insight on how the food community can make changes to be more inclusive.
