Foodie and the Beast - Nov. 10, 2024

Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis.    On today’s show:  ·        Alfreda’s pizzas are all about fresh, local ingredients. And we’re gonna talk about that, but … Alfreda chef Russell Blue Smith – you know him from Wolfgang Puck’s Source and the Black Restaurant Group – is joined today by his colleague, Evan Moore, whom you’ll know from Puck’s Cut, for tastes and talk of Alfreda’s cocktail program. Mezcal cocktails and pizza? En espanol and in italiano, we say, “si;”  ·        If you’re in the know, you know that National Pupusa Day is … today! Sunday, Nov. 10. And who better to discuss it than Ana Reyes of Adams-Morgan’s legendary El Tamarindo Salvadoran and Mexican restaurant;                                                                     ·        Jake Endres is co-owner of J&J New York-style pizza and Crooked Run Fermentation. He also does wings you wouldn’t believe – and neither do a lot of chickens running around with no arms (ha, ha). Jake’s in with talk and tastes of his many entrepreneurial undertakings;                                                                                                                          ·        John and Lindsay Hill are founders of DMV Coffee and Chocolate and the organizers of the coincidentally named DMV Chocolate and Coffee Festival, coming up for its third year at the Dulles Expo Center South Hall in Chantilly, Virginia, Nov. 16-17. John and Lindsay join us, all caffeinated and ready to spill the beans!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
