Foodie and the Beast – Jan. 16, 2022

Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis.

On today’s show:
• Nick Schulman, wine director, RPM Italian, a restaurant that is modern in approach and Italian in spirit and features a contemporary, chef¬-driven menu with dishes meant to be shared;
• Jim Snediker, CEO, Stock Mfg Co, a top workwear creator for sexy, premium hospitality brands. Think Gucci for restaurants (or something like that);
• Scott Harris was a successful computer engineer, working for the U.S. Navy, when he gave it all up for a chance to start a distillery with his chemical engineer wife, Becky Harris. Their award-winning distillery in Loudoun County is called Catoctin Creek and we welcome Scott back on the show to get his 10th time jacket and tell us about his products and the Art of the Cocktail: the six-week educational cocktail class returning every Friday evening until Feb. 11 with each week focusing on a different cocktail and its history;
• Fiona Lewis, D.C.’s first female fishmonger, the founder and co-owner of three businesses in the Union Market: The District Fishwife, On Toast and Son of a Fish; a nationally recognized expert on sustainable seafood, conservation of local fish species; an advocate for regional fisheries.
