Arlington Reads: B. Dylan Hollis
Arlington Reads Stirs It Up!
For 2026, Arlington Reads turns 20 and Arlington Public Library will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States by looking at American life, history and culture through the lens of food. Join us for a conversation with B. Dylan Hollis to talk about food, culture, and community.
Benjamin Dylan Hollis is a Bermudian-American social media personality, baker and author of “Baking Yesteryear” and “Baking Across America: A Vintage Recipe Road Trip.” Dylan Hollis is a baking entertainer, bestselling author and viral social media personality known for breathing new life into forgotten recipes. Born and raised in Bermuda, Hollis pursued jazz piano at the University of Wyoming before stumbling into baking and internet fame during the pandemic. What began as a quirky video exploring an old cookbook quickly turned into a phenomenon, with millions tuning in to watch him whip up everything from potato chip cookies to tomato soup cake.
This event is hosted in partnership with George Mason University.
