Foodie And The Beast

Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis. On today’s show: • John Snedden, RAMW Board Member and proprietor of Rocklands Barbeque and Grilling Co., and Alonzo Freeman, bar director of the Royal talk about the RAMW Cocktail Week; • Baltimore’s very cool Ivy is a luxurious hotel in a historic Mount Vernon mansion. The Ivy has reopened after a closure caused by the pandemic and offers a new restaurant concept: Magdalena, a Maryland Bistro. Executive Chef Mark Levy joins us; • The D.C. Central Kitchen’s Mike Curtain is back with us to provide details on the Capital Food Fight 2020. It’s coming up on Nov. 18 and … it’s virtual; • And who doesn’t love the family-owned Lebanese Taverna’s Mediterranean delights? Grace Abi-Najm Shea joins us to talk turkey – uh, Thanksgiving – about her fundraising efforts to aid Beirut after the massive explosion a few months ago and about how they’ve kept keeping on during the pandemic.
