Spring is officially here! As we're starting to think about lighter fare in the warmer months, hosts George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr discuss their favorite vegan restaurants in St. Louis. Neither George nor Cheryl are vegan, "but it's not going to stop us from opining about it," says George. Get recommendations for must-try vegan-friendly restaurants, menu items, meat alternatives, and more. And along the way, learn a few things about the health benefits as George shares a personal anecdote about a 90-day stint of being vegan and the positive outcomes. Listen and follow Arch Eats on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever podcasts are available.

This episode is sponsored by Butler's Pantry. Even though moms can do it all doesn’t mean they should. This Mother's Day, let Butler’s Pantry help you give Mom the gift of relaxation by ordering a Mother’s Day brunch collection for pickup or delivery.
