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.

Following a then-and-now format, the show welcomed scores of guests — from restaurateurs and chefs to distillers and mixologists, and many more — who have been avid listeners over the years and have continued to grow and expand their businesses and success.

Some of the guests included:

The Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington’s “Restaurateur of the Year,” Ashok Bajaj (Knightsbridge Restaurant Group)
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
RAMW’s exec director Kathy Hollinger
