Rachel Whinnery is the creator of Everyday Akron, an online community hub showcasing local stories and businesses. A storyteller at heart, she’s dedicated to illuminating the spirit of her adopted hometown. Her passion for Akron extends beyond digital spaces to community involvement with organizations like Friends of the Goodyear Branch Library. When not hidden behind a laptop, Rachel can be found hiking in Summit Metro Parks or in a local café, book in hand, dreaming up her next Akron-centric adventure. (Or she’s simply listening to Beyoncé while chugging iced coffee.)
Food For Thought: Exploring Akron Through Food
“Food for Thought: Exploring Akron Through Food” will be a new YouTube series produced by Everyday Akron. Each episode will highlight a different food business. We’ll go behind the scenes and meet the folks who cook up delicious eats in the Rubber City. Drawing inspiration from food writers and content creators like Anthony Bourdain, Helen Rosner, Charlotte Druckman and Jamie Loftus, the show will get to the heart of what makes small businesses run: great products made by even greater neighbors. We aim to inspire Akronites to eat local and take pride in the city they live in.
