Bar Snacks with Lenny Terenzi (Episodes 33 through 36)
Sometimes, in spite of their better judgment, friends choose to join us in the bar. One of our drinking buddies is artist, pop culture junkie, North Carolina resident and all-around nice guy Lenny Terenzi.
Lenny is a designer, illustrator, musician, air-fryer chef, and dad-joke teller. In reverse order. Lover of all things 1980s, especially toys and cartoons. He used to run a comic book shop, worked at a video game store and in record stores back when they sold records (the holy nerd trifecta).
Feel free to gobble these all up at once or a bite at a time. We’re not here to judge.
