Foodie and the Beast – March 13, 2022

Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis.

On today’s show:

• It often is said that wine lists don’t always reflect the diversity of makers from all different backgrounds. The response from Lyle’s, the signature restaurant in the new Lyle Hotel at Dupont Circle, is a wine list exclusively featuring women, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ winemakers across the country and the globe. Martha Skidmore, Lyle’s Assistant Regional Food and Beverage Director, is with us with tastes and talk of wines you may not know;
• I say “recycling” and you say, “Yeah, I totally get that it’s right, but …” Well, you’re not alone. Only a small percentage of what we toss in the recycling bin actually is recycled. Stephanie J. Miller, Founder of Zero Waste in D.C., a former director of climate business at the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank and author of the book “Zero Waste Living: The 80/20 Way,” joins us with practical tips for responsible recycling;

• And, finally, we speak with Christine DeLozier, author of “Diet
for Great Sex: Food for Male and Female Sexual Health.” Need we say more?
