Foodie and the Beast - May 7, 2023

Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis.  On today’s show: ·        Who doesn’t love Montgomery County? And who doesn’t know about all the cool stuff to see and do there? You don’t! That’s why Cory Van Horn is here! He’s chief strategy officer for Visit Montgomery;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      ·        Corey Landolt and Ari Wilder of Kappo – a 21-seat gem on MacArthur Boulevard, showcasing an eight-course tasting menu. They’re in to tell us what to expect and to get our tastebuds revved up with specialty cocktails, like The Bull: An A-5 Miyazaki Wagyu fat-washed old-fashioned featuring Legent Bourbon Whiskey, Demerara syrup and bitters;     ·        Nationally celebrated as one of Food & Wine Magazine’s 10 Best New Chefs and recently honored as a James Beard Foundation 2023 semifinalist, Moon Rabbit’s Chef Kevin Tien is back in with his sidekick, the no less supremely talented pastry chef Susanna Bae. We talk about the good life on The Wharf, enjoy tastes and talk of their upcoming Dinner on the Dock and Night Market events and other treats; ·        Justin Frank Polgar, the self-titled “Minister of Chocolate” and founder of YES Cacao. This dude has been eating a half-pound of chocolate every day for the past 13 years … for health! And he is with us to explain how and why; ·        One of our favorite guests of all time was the dearly departed Chef Michel Richard of Citronelle and Central fame. Chef Michel has gone to that great kitchen in the sky, but his Central is alive and well on Pennsylvania Avenue, and the new executive chef, David Barigault, runs the show. Chef joins us to tell us how things are going.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
