Foodie and the Beast - June 18, 2023

 Hosted by Nycci Nellis.  On today’s show: ·        Eileen Vaughn, the general manager at Il Piatto. If you’re a regular listener, you know that anything Italian gets our attention – and, since Il Piatto is the creation of our good friend, local restaurateur Hakan Ilhan– we’re doubly interested in the cocktails they’re concocting there! Eileen joins us to start mix them up for us;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                ·        Eva Torres, director of restaurants for Stephen Starr’s group. She has the job of overseeing all D.C. properties, including Le Diplomate, St. Anselm and Bread Alley;  ·        Kevin Kelley, an attorney born with an entrepreneur’s itch. He scratches it by owning and developing hospitality and entertainment concepts, including Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley, a comfort food concept found in Dallas, Chicago and now here in D.C.’s Franklin Square;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           ·  Dalton Kreiss, the founder of Maguey Melate, an artisanal agave spirits company showcasing independent mescaleros.. In plain English, we’re talking about… mezcal!
