Foodie and the Beast – Nov.15, 2020

Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis.

Today we were joined by Mitch Berliner & Deb Moser of Central Farm Markets who had plenty of good info about last-minute Thanksgiving freshness available. Then, Brandon Bayton of Wunder Garten beer garden in NOMA dropped in with updates on some great pop-ups and special events for the crisp, fall days ahead. Later, Adam Gerson, founder of Near Country Provisions, a subscription-based farm-to-doorstep service that delivers premium, locally-sourced, pasture-raised beef and pork, has great tips for delicious, farm-to-table dining in these otherwise, challenging days of the pandemic. We also heard from Greg Bolton, whose mom and dad founded the now-nationally famous, Bob and Edith’s Diner in Arlington, where 24/7 comfort food keeps its patrons sane and happy. Lastly, we chatted with award-winning paella chef and owner of DC’s Xiquet, the highly-regarded, Valencian restaurant, about some special offerings coming up surviving and prospering in the pandemic.
