Foodie and the Beast – June 21, 2015

Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis

On this week’s show:
* Jarad Slipp, winemaker at Virginia’s RDV vineyard and the new sommelier in residence for Bethesda, MD’s luxury condominium, the Lauren. He’s in talking about something we’ve never heard of before: a holistic wine program for condo owners, from tastings to classes and even their own, private wine lockers in the building. Cool!
* Food journalist and cookbook author, Domenica Marchetti, is back in-studio to talk about her latest cookbook, Ciao Biscotti, a recipe-laden homage to Italy’s famed biscotto.
* They call them “the Peruvian Brothers.” Mario and Giuseppe Lanzone are food truck entrepreneurs bringing the taste of Peru’s “comida criolla” to DC’s streets. They are ultra-interesting guys: Giuseppe is a two-time U.S. Olympics rowing team member and current coach of the Georgetown University rowing team. Mario is a talented chef who can deliver delicious avocado recipes faster than you can say, “gracias!”
* Cohost Mike McGarvey gets his own time on the microphone to talk about 3 Stars’ latest innovation: cans!
* Our drink segment features mixmaster Ben Wiley in with the newest cocktail creations from “Favorite Neighborhood Hangout” RAMMY winner, D.C.’s Bar Pilar.
