-James Cao, Bar Supervisor at Smoke & Mirrors, the rooftop restaurant and bar atop the AC Hotel, Capitol Hill Navy Yard, crafted stunning cocktails

-Chef/Owner Johnny Spero of Reverie Restaurant and Bar Spero is back on Foodie and the Beast – You may recall that a huge fire took out Chef Johnny’s Michelin-starred tasting experience in Georgetown. It reopened in March 2024 and Johnny’s in with his POV.

-There’s been a changing of the guard at the French restaurant, L’Avant-Garde DC. Now helmed by Chef/Partner Sébastien Giannini, he joined us to take us into the kitchen & disucss the proper salade nicoise 

-Lamb Jam is back. Lamb Jam Month celebrates the culinary creativity of chefs across the country and supports family-operated farms and ranches that are raising sheep in the U.S. In May, chefs in DC will run a small plate on their menu featuring American lamb and compete for the title of Lamb Jam Master of their city. Demetri Mechelis, Chef Owner or Martha Dear  & current Lamb Jam Master is in with the details
