Foodie & The Beast, Sunday, 11/5/17

Guests this week include:

* Executive chef, Ryan Ratino, this year’s RAMMY winner of the Rising Culinary Star award, who now conjures delicious, new taste delights at Bresca, based on what’s fresh, seasonal and delicious.
* Bill and Suzy Menard, proprietors of fabulous Via Umbria in Georgetown, a combo market, butcher shop, restaurant, wine store and event space – all themed to one of Italy’s most fabulous regions – are in with upcoming events news and a selection of the offering from their new cheese department
* Yoga teacher Erin Son explains how she combines exercise, spiritualism and suds to create the new phenom: Eat, Yoga, Drink. Yoga and beer, anyone? Sounds like fun!
* Fishscale is Chef Brandon Williams’ new, DC sandwich shop serving awesome sandwiches from sustainable-only fish. We tried them, and they rock.
* Speaking of rocking, if you haven’t been to the recently opened, DC Winery – the City’s first-ever, wine production facility – you are missing superlative wines, a spectacular, new space in The Yards on the Anacostia waterfront. And if that weren’t enough, there’s a great restaurant there, too, called Ana. Founders Brian Leventhal and Jonathan Stires—also founders of the famous Brooklyn Winery – are in with tastes and talk of S=District Winery.
