Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis.  On today’s show: ·        Philippe & Jackie Loustaunau, co-owners of Arlington’s Pirouette, which is both a full-service restaurant and wine shop.

He is a partner and culinary creative genius with Long Shot Hospitality, which owns several great properties you know, including Downtown D.C.’s Dauphine, The Salt Line (with three locations) and the new and awesome Ometeo in Tysons Corner;                                                                                         ·        Been to The Square? Richie Brandenburg, known far and wide as the creator of Union Market, and Rubén García, also known far and wide as the talented former creative director of the José Andrés Group, have opened The Square, Downtown K Street’s ambitious new food market destination.
