Foodie And The Beast

Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis. On today’s show: • St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and so is a live report and cross-continental tasting from the Emerald Isle, when we’re joined by Elaine Larkin, U.K. brand manager of Grace O’Malley Whiskey and Proclamation, Ireland’s premium whiskey and spirits brands; • Coming to Ford’s Theatre on March 19, “Grace” is a new musical from Nolan Williams, Jr. examining the rarely told history of African-American culinary tradition and the challenges faced by Black-owned businesses. Packed with an eclectic mix of styles, including jazz, R&B, rousing up-tempos and raise the-roof ballads, the show promises to be a rousing foot-stomper, punctuated by some awesome dance numbers choreographed by Robert Barry Fleming, who joins us to talk about the show; • The seventh annual Fairfax Restaurant Week is upon us. Starting March 7 and running through March 14, it features amazing fixed-price offerings at some of Fairfax City
