Foodie and the Beast celebrated its 10th anniversary on Federal News Network’s airwaves on Nov. 11 with a live, 2-hour remote broadcast from Neighborhood Restaurant Group’s Bluejacket, DC’s most amazing brewery, restaurant and bar.

  • Jamie Leeds of Hank’s Oyster Bar fame
  • Scott Drewno (then of Wolfgang Puck’s The Source, now a co-owner of the much-ballyhooed ChiKo)
  • Taco Bamba’s/Poca Madre’s chef/owner, Vic Albisu
  • Award-winning chef/owner Amy Brandwein;
  • NRG’s beer director and beer sommelier to the stars, Greg Engert
