Hey All and thanks for joining me again. It was patio season and no … now it isn’t This is spring in DC. One day it’s sunny and 70 and one day it’s sunny and 30. ANYWAY. The ridiculous weather aside, it doesn’t take away my excitement from taping this month’s show at Tony & Joe’s. I am down on the sparkling Potomac water, watching the boats go by. This is a so if you know you know situation. Tony and Joe’s has one of the best patios in DC with views of the Kennedy Center. As I have said, once the weather hits an acceptable temperature, find me out on that patio with a tray of fresh shucked oysters and a glass of Rose. So special thanks as always to Greg Casten for being such a tremendous supporter of me, this show and the work that I do. Later in show, I’ll be chatting with The Mary Taylor. Mary Taylor of Mary Taylor wines. For the span of her professional life, she has been active in all aspects of the wine industry, whether selling high-end French and Italian wines at the Sotheby’s auction, opening a retail store in lower Manhattan, serving as the president of a Tri-state area wholesale company, or working as a portfolio manager for a major distributor covering the entire United States. Fast forward to now and Mary Taylor Wine is the largest self-funded female wine importer in the United States.

Hey All! Thanks for joining me again on Industry Night with me — Nycci Nellis. It is patio season in DC and I am so so excited because this month’s show is being tapped at Tony & Joe’s right down on the water in Georgetown. If you live in the DMV or have ever visited this city chances are you’ve been here. They have one of the best patios. It looks out on the Potomac with views of the Kennedy Center. Seriously on a gorgeous day you want to sit out on that patio with a tray of fresh shucked oysters and a glass of Rose and watch the boats go by. So special thanks as always to Greg Casten and his whole team for always being such a tremendous supporter of me, this show and the work that I do. Today, I’ll be chatting with you. Hugo Mogollon is the Executive Director of Fresh Farm Markets here in the DMV. Before launching The List in 2003 I was already a Fresh Farm supporter. I would schlep all five kids down to Dupont Circle on Sundays not long after that first market opened in 1997 and we would leave with bags and bags of vegetables, eggs and fruit. Once in the Industry, I became friendly with the FreshFarm founders Bernie Prince and Ann Yonkers. They were some of the first guests on Foodie And the Beast. Over the years FreshFarm Markets have expanded with more than 20 markets and have created incredible outreach programs that bring fresh food to so many people. AND, FreshFarm has launched many businesses in this area as well. Giving makers an opportunity to R&D, grow and create brick & mortars — Call Your Mother, Red Apron and Gordy’s Pickles comes to mind. But first a little on where I’ve been: -I Emceed the Embassy Chefs Challenge and it was amazing -I ate all the things at the Regarding Her Women’s History Month Dinner at Centrolina with Tiffany MacIssac, Amy Brandwein, Ellen Yin, Kimberly Prince and Rochelle Cooper -I also judged a pisco competition at Causa — cause that’s what I do -And, not food but a lil’ culture, took in the Star Power exhibit at the Portrait Gallery. I am a huge George Hurrell fan. As I mentioned, I am a FreshFarm fan and a shopper. In 2019 Hugo Mogollon joined FreshFarm as executive director. Fresfarm merged with Community Foodworks, which Hugo had led for five years, and now FreshFarm is the largest farmers market organization in the Mid-Atlantic. What Freshfarm can now offer as a regional food system is immense as is their reach and impact. I am ready to get all updated, aren’t you? Quotes "We help farmers unlock wholesaling potential by skipping minimum orders and pricing sheets, providing a learning opportunity before engaging with larger institutions."- Hugo Mogollon "You can have someone ensure they're not on the phone constantly, as face-to-face interaction holds significant value."- Hugo Mogollon Featured Guest Hugo Mogollon Personal Instagram: Instagram (@hfmogollon) Facebook: Freshfarm Website: Twitter:  FRESHFARM (@freshfarmdc) on X Personal Twitter: Hugo Mogollon (@hugo_mogollon) on X Featuring Nycci Nellis https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis/ https://www.thelistareyouonit.com/ Powered by Heartcast Media Home - Branded Podcast Agency: Your Trusted Production House Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 05:08 - Cuban Showcase: Varied Guests, Enriching Encounters. 10:27 - Unveiling Fresh Farm's Legacy and Market Dynamics. 11:59 - Uncovering the Remarkable History of a Local Market. 15:32 - Enhancing Fresh Produce Accessibility and Affordability. 18:47 - Balancing SNAP Technology and Direct Farmer Sales. 21:28 - Curating Diverse Offerings at the Farmer's Market and Streamlining Data. 23:49 - Collaborative Leases and Market Support 27:59 - Advancing Food Access for Farmers and Institutions. 31:24 - National Growth of Farmers' Markets: A Boon for Businesses. 33:46 - Advocating Sustainable Agriculture for a Robust Food Ecosystem. 36:51 - Seasonal Fruits and Vegetable Subscriptions for Sustained Freshness. 41:56 - Collaboration Program Empowers Common Grain Alliance Partnerships. 45:35 - First Farm’s Distinct Focus on a Holistic Food Ecosystem. 47:09 - Envisioning Innovative Strategies to Enhance Restaurant Food Access. 48:15 - Outro Powered by Heartcastmedia

New Residency at The WREN in the Watermark Hotel Hi there I have a new residency! For December, Industry Night is hosted by WREN in the Watermark Hotel. This area is on fire! An entire town center has built up on the other side of the highway from what you traditionally think of as Tysons. Here in the Watermark Hotel is the Japanese izakaya, Wren. Chef Yo Matsuzaki draws upon locally-grown ingredients and serves Japanese street food with modern American elements. Think shucked oysters and expertly-cut sashimi and wagyu steak. There's also an incredible Omakase menu, and do not get me started on the cocktail program. And I don't have to because old friend Erik Bergman, Director of Restaurants & Bars is joining me later. Even later in the show, I'm excited to nerd out with two industry veterans, Des Reilly and Kris Carr, both co-founders of SRG Concepts. You may not know the SRG concept name, but you know Chicken and Whisky and Doi Moi! But first! Where have I been?! Where haven't I? Centrolina — Been a minute since I've caught up with Amy Brandwien at Centrolina and she is still hitting the ball over the fence. It was a Chefs For Equality celebratory luncheon since we raised a half a million! -Bombay Club — 35 years young! Congrats to Ashok Bajaj oh this incredible anniversary. This gorgeous reimagined space and anniversary menu features iconic classics like crab masala & spicy green chile chicken -Corso — It's a new restaurant from Jill Erber of Cheestique. Are you ready? Chef Cathal Armstrong is back in the kitchen spinning up pasta. Classic family Italian - rigatoni bolognese, porchetta, Italian wines - in Shirlington —so needed -STC — As You Like IT — A mash-up of the Bard and the Beatles equals a toe-tapping, sing a long experience. Who knew I'd be singing and swaying during a Shakespeare performance?! Oh Erik Berman, you are up! Erik Bergman Director of Restaurants & Bars at The Watermark Hotel Now, I remember when the Chicken and Whisky concept opened on 14th Street. I loved that it was all business in the front and party in the back. I didn’t know who was behind the concept — a rarity, I know - but I liked it and thought this is an excellent addition to the 14th Street neighborhood. Fast forward several years, and I finally met Des Reilly. Des & his business partner, Kris Carr are co-founders of SRG Concepts. They both have deep roots in the industry and have their hands in several concepts, including the C&W expansion as well as taking over the beloved Doi Moi — formerly owned by Mark Kuller — Featured Guests: Des Reilly and Kris Carr He/him/his + he/him/his Des - Managing Principal, Co-Founder, SRG Concepts; Kris - Managing Principal, Co-Founder, SRG Concepts Highlites with time stamps: Guests Social Media Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chickenandwhiskey Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chickenpluswhiskey https://www.facebook.com/TheWalrusNationalHarbor https://www.facebook.com/doimoidc Twitter: https://x.com/chicken_whiskey?s=20 Quotes "Stay true to yourself, reject BS, and present a united front to earn your staff's support." - Des Reilly "Our goal: a neighborhood bar that surpasses expectations, ensuring exceptional experiences and a guarantee of fun." - Kris Carr Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 04:02 - Promoting Human Rights Through Culinary Excellence 09:43 - City Center Chronicles: Unveiling the New Development 11:21 - A Decade of Deliciousness: Celebrating 10 Years in the Restaurant Industry 16:19 - From Insight to Success: Jamie Mulholland's Impact 18:04 - Navigating the Unknown: Embracing Fluid Situations 21:21 - Bartenders to Masters: Rising Through Operations and Creativity 24:48 - Vibrant City Vibes: Praising Diversity and Energy 28:35 - The Fortunate Second: Aligning with Key Operators 30:55 - Simplicity as the Backbone: Unveiling the Operational Approach 34:24 - Dive Bar Dreams: Chris' Vision Takes Shape 36:41 - Alma Cucina Latina: A Worthwhile Indulgence 41:05 - Uniquely 14th Street: Irreplaceable Charm 43:58 - Reflecting on 2023: A Year of Growth and Lessons 47:48 - From Friend to Colleague: Meeting Jason Koehler and Joining the Team 51:09 - Collaborative Success: Making Decisions and Pitching Together 52:33 - Turning Negatives into Positives: Successful Adaptations 57:19 - Stay True, Unite, and Persevere: The Recipe for Success 59:00 - Outro Featuring Nycci Nellis https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis/ https://www.thelistareyouonit.com/ Produced by Heartcast Media http://www.heartcastmedia.com

And it’s Kathy Hollinger’s week to be back with Industry Night. Kathy provides the latest update on the RAMMY's, masking, and vaccine intel. That's Industry Night, 7 pm on RealFunDC.

So in Nycci’s previous life, she was a total club girl. Limelight in NYC, M80 in Boston Club Zei in DC. The good ol’ days. What is the status of clubs and “clubbing” today in DC? What has the pandemic done to DC’s ever-growing nightlife? Industry veteran Beau Biabani joins Nycci on the next Industry Night to talk about his new hot spots, the music, the vibe, and the drinks. Grab your dancing shoes. Industry Night on RealFunDC 7pm every Tuesday.

On the next Industry night, Nycci talks with Shari Wallack, author of from Hell to Challah.

Artists, Aaron “Woes” Martin & Rodrigo Pradel join the conversation to talk about their work.

Many of you may think Nycci is all about Gluttony — all the good food and even better drink. Part of that is true but she is really about living well. And sometimes that involves good wine, sometimes it involves decadent food and sometimes a trip away or just a great pair of shoes. Don’t be so myopic people — there are so many ways to live well On today’s Industry Night, Esosa E — aka the Raw Girl — talks about how eating right for you impacts your skin, your mental health and your overall physical well-being.

Industry Night. Real Fun DC. Tuesdays at 7pm.

Do you ever go to an area and think — how did they do this? The Navy yard, the Washington Harbor, Georgetown Park, Buzzards Point — are but a few examples of areas that legit did not exist in the flesh but did exist in some pretty magical minds. On the next Industry Night, Nycci chats with Herbert Miller of Western Development Corporation, Michael Stevens with the Capitol Riverfront BID, and Greg Casten, Fish & Fire Food Group and Executive Chef Benjamin Lambert, The Point DC. But first, as Industry Night has done every other week since the beginning of the pandemic Kathy Holinger returns with the latest in industry news. Industry Night. 7pm. On Real Fun DC.

Look at where I am! I have had a new Residency for the month of November and today is the last day here at The Point — wah I know — it is so bright and so beautiful and the staff is so fantastic. BUT! While I am filming/recording Industry Night at a new location for the month of December (the WREN in the Capitol One Building in Tysons),  I am back with Fish & Fire in 2024! So, here I am down at Buzzards Point in the new sparkling development wedged between the Wharf and Navy Yard. The good people of Fish & Fire Group aka Greg Casten have been hosting Industry Night in their pretty fabulous property. And I am grateful. So here is what I learned recording here The Point is perfectly situated at where the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers join — talk about picturesque and panoramic views. But there is good work being done here! Which leads me to what we are talking about today. Last time I was in Greg & Dave Perra filled me in on the good works that the Anacostia Riverkeeper organization does like protecting and restoring the Anacostia River. They constantly strive to ensure a swimmable and fishable — yes! But what happened? What happened to our historic waterways? How did we get here and what is our future? In to educate & discuss is Quinn Molner, Director of Operations of and Anacostia Riverkeeper with his insight & involvement, Greg Casten. Quotes "Trash trap systems prevent waste in the main stem. Excitingly, we recently hosted SPLASH, the first swim event in the Anacostia in over 50 years, overcoming historic pollution."- Quinn Molner "Anything we can do to just let people know there's an effort to clean this up. Whatever it is, get off your butt and get involved and be involved." - Greg Casten Featured in the Episode Quinn Molner & Greg Casten Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/anacostiariverkeeper/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/AnacostiaRiverkeeper Twitter: Featuring Nycci Nellis https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis/ https://www.thelistareyouonit.com/ Produced by Heartcast Media http://www.heartcastmedia.com Chapters 00:00 - Intro 05:11 - DC Sewage and River Contaminants: Recent Improvements 08:03 - Plastics and Environmental Concerns: An Evolving Landscape 12:28 - Collaborative Advocacy for Equitable River Access 14:06 - Effective Communication Tactics: Politicians Engaging Local Communities 16:31 - Nature's Impact on Health and Well-being: Promoting Respect 20:38 - Costly Sediment Accumulation: Continuous River Maintenance 22:37 - Improved Water Quality: Anticipating Swims in the River Tunnel 26:50 - The Power of Cleanup: Transforming Consumption Mindsets 30:54 - Successful Plastic Bag Fee: Exploring Aggressive Options 34:00 - Promoting Environmental Awareness and Community Involvement 37:07 - Outro

But first, Nycci talks with aureate and activist Tony Lewis, Jr. activist and author Tony Lewis Jr. As a community leader, and re-entry expert, Tony has fought to uplift and empower men, women, and children impacted by mass incarceration.

Just because restaurants are ALLOWED to be at100-percent it doesn’t mean that they can. Pre pandemic there was a growing staffing crisis and almost post-pandemic not enough employees to staff all the hospitality establishments. On the next Industry night, Nycci is joined by Kathy Hollinger of RAMW, hospitality industry recruiter, Chris Floyd of Capital Restaurant Resources, Hollis Wells Silverman, owner of The Duck & The Peach, and Christina Fox, True Food Kitchen Northeast Regional Director of Restaurants. Everyone agrees the restaurant industry needs to change but how and can it?

When Wolfgang Pick announced he was going to open a Cut steakhouse in the Rosewood hotel a few years back there was the usual Foodie backlash —- another steakhouse! But let’s be honest — DC is known as a steakhouse town but we really don’t have many — and especially good ones. So when Cut opened there was a collective sigh that a hip and hospitable steakhouse was here — but then there was a fire and then the bridge was out and then the pandemic — It took Cut a while to come back. On the next Industry Night with Nycci Nellis is joined by Andrew Skala, Executive Chef of CUT by Wolfgang Puck, and one of the chef's incredible collab-partners, Angel Gregorio founder and owner of The Spice Suite, a growing community-centric spice boutique. But first, RAMW’s Kathy Hollinger is back to talk DC reopening on Friday, May 21 - what does that reset look like? Industry Night at 7pm on Real Fun DC.

Enter Empowering The Diner an educational events series that aims to empower diners to have better experiences in restaurants. On the next Industry Night, Nycci talks with long-time local hospitality professionals Erica Christian & Kapri Robinson. And, Carlos Rice & Darris Dameron, the dynamic duo behind YAP - Yes another Podcast - that follows Industry Night on Real Fun DC pops on air to chat up their show.

On the next Industry Night, Nycci talks with chefs Paolo Dungca & Chef Tom Cunanan about DC and how it has always been a haven for cuisines and cultures that were not readily available in other American cities. In the last 10 years that notion has exploded in a variety of ways. Not only are more options available but the execution has been elevated. And, RAMW’s Kathy Hollinger is back to explain the latest in pandemic dining restrictions and hopeful changes coming soon.

On the next Industry Night, Michelin stars have dropped around DC, and the North American Chief Inspector (anonymous!) talks about who is in and who is out. Chef Ryan Ratino is in! Retaining the one-star at Bresca and earning two stars at his recently opened Jônt, Ryan talks about the business of receiving these kinds of accolades. Lindera Farms has a cult-like following and forager/producer Daniel Liberson is why. That’ Industry Night on Real Fun DC Tuesdays at 7pm.

On Industry Night, Nycci catches up with the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington’s President, Kathy Hollinger about the status of the restaurants during Covid and how they are going to deal with the next hurdle, staffing. And, Nycci takes a deeper dive into the making of the area’s first retailer that’ mission is to discover and appreciate, Black-owned, lifestyle and home goods brands and makers, The Gift shop’s Tamon George join Nycci and bring with him a talented group of local makers - Akinwale Akinbiyi [Wale] and Thomas Davis of Riveriswild, Destiny Sweeney Durant of Destiny’s Caché and Taelor Salmon of Cadence Candle Co. - to talk the creativity that is thriving in this city and the location where you can find it all.

On the next Industry Night, one thing the pandemic has made crystal clear is that our outside space is sacred. Jessica Petrino from appliance experts AjMadison, landscape architect, Robert Bell of Bell Design, Inc., and lighting specialist, Reed Libby from Affordable Sprinklers join Nycci Nellis to talk about creating an outdoor oasis. But first, Moon Rabbit's Kevin Tien shares his experience as a first-gen Vietnamese American and all the details on the massive fundraiser he has put together with chefs Erik Bruner-Yang and Tim Ma, Chefs Stopping AAPI Hate.

Welcome to another episode of Industry Night! So if you pay attention to my insta feed you know I have been traveling for the past month. I have had the incredible good fortune to travel through different areas of Italy - a little bit of work and a little bit of play — back to Sardinia, first time traveling to Como and being in Milan during fashion week. It was all pretty fabulous. The sites, the sounds, the conversations, the wine and the food — so I’m gonna take you on a quick tour of Northern Sardinia: -But first can we talk about flying La Compagnie?! -Stayed at the fabulous Petra Segreta -The Town of San Pantaleo -Sardinian flatbread - Pane Caseau - My Kryptonite -JBeach -L’Assaggio — Mussels for days - and pasta -Surrau Vineyard — Vermentino & Cannanau -Alghero — the Cliffs! Dinner at the Marina at Porto Rotondo — more pasta & lobster -Favorite beach — Cala Granu — more pasta, Sardinian clams and lobster -Last night at Il Fuoco Sacro - Michelin Starred Executive Chef Luigi Bergeretto and the famed Enrico Bartolini, We met so many incredible people and explored even more this year. It is our happy place. Next I’m gonna take you to Como — wait until next week — cause as much as I would love to sit here and talk about Italy um do you see me sitting in a new setting?! I am at the beautiful Capital Jewish Museum in downtown DC. Now some of you who have been watching/listening to me for a long time may remember that I had the team from the Museum last year — the museum was not opened yet but as a way to get people excited about the opening they threw this pretty fabulous festival last October. I was there, I interviewed Michael Twitty (IYKYK), the sun was shining, the food was delicious and all the people were there. BUT the museum was not open. So, guess what? It is now open. The Museum opened its doors in the spring of 2023. And it is glorious. Now, last year I heard from some people — another Jewish museum?! — so let me get this out of the way now: The Holocaust museum is not a museum celebrating the life and times of Jewish people. It bears witness to the tragedy of the Holocaust. The Capital Jewish Museum explores the Jewish experience in the national capital and inspires visitors to connect, and reflect thanks to a beautifully laid out and thoughtfully curated museum. So excited to talk with some of the people who made this all happen today: -Malki Karkowsky, Chief Advancement Office -Bettina Neudert-Brown, Principal, Lead Designer for Capital Jewish Museum | SmithGroup Sarah Leavitt, Curator Let’s get into it … Takeaways Information and Technology in Healthcare Revolutionizing Competency Validation in Education AI in Healthcare: Teaching, Learning, and Development Enhancing Healthcare Education with AI Innovations in Preceptorship and Residency Moving Beyond Skills Lists: Competency-Based Education Emerging Trends: Healthcare and AI's Future Quotes "Engaging in conflict and conversation is essential for our community.

Welcome to another Industry Night here at The Point in DC. Yes, I have been out and about last week — did you see me? Actually, you did not see me because I have been sunning my tush in lovely St. Martin. Once again, I ate through the delicious town of Grand Case, nestled on the French Side of Saint Martin. And yes, Caribbean spiny lobster was consumed daily, but you know I have a voracious appetite: -First Night lobster and ribs at the lolos aka the shacks. Our favorite, Cynthia's Talk of the Town -Picked up warm croissants, savory & sweet, every morning from Maison Chocolat (pro-tip: the iced cappuccino) -Tuna and other incredible raw fish prepared all the ways at Rainbow Cafe -Gold-flecked caviar topped beef tartare at Le Pressoir -Strands of pasta topped with silky burrata at Spiga -Carpaccio of tuna & wahoo fish at Le Bistonome Talk about if you know you know! Okay, on to today's show. BBQ! What do you consider BBQ to be? An outdoor meal? Proteins roasted over a wood or charcoal fire? High heat? Low heat? And what about all the styles?! Texas, Carolina, Memphis? AND that's just in the US. We know a whole world cooks in this style as well. How does Grilling differ from BBQ,  I mean, seriously?! So, over the summer, I had the chance to sit with Debby Portillo Gonzalez on F&TB. She was nominated for a RAMMY award. And while I was already a fan of her & her husband's Fernando Gonzalez 2fifty Texas BBQ. Their story is fascinating. They met when they were young — teenagers — and they took a long road from El Salvador to open up 2fifty Texas BBQ during the shutdown of 2020. I am so excited to talk with Debby & Fernando today,  talk their Salvadoran heritage, their food, and all the things.

On the next Industry Night with Nycci Nellis, local restaurant and business owners continue to pivot & pirouette in order to handle everything that is happening in the industry right now. Between city shut downs due the traitorous mob attack on the Capitol or the ever-changing restrictions and bans on indoor dining restaurants have had to get creative. The latest in Pandemic Pop Ups with guests Gerard Bertholon (Cuisine Solutions), Rob Sonderman (Fedwich), Nathan Beauchamp (No Soup for You) & Nick Wiseman (Little Sesame Rotisserie)

On the next Industry Night, Jersey girl, Nycci Nellis gets her pizza and bagel jones filled thanks to partners Daniela Moreira & Andrew Dana of Timber Pizza & Call Your Mother.

This is the last Industry Night of 2020. What a year it has been. You know the year started out with a bang. So much was supposed to happen in 2020 — so much. But then it didn’t. You know what they say, Best Laid Plans, my hashtag for the year. Since March we have been through A LOT. A LOT! This pandemic, the mirror shown to our faces about race in this county, and an insane election. Tonight as we look to the sky with gratitude for being safe and healthy, we are going to get frivolous for 2021. Good Health, Better Wealth and lots of champagne, with Maxwell Parks’ Brent Kroll, Caviar & Truffles thanks to Furloughed Chef’s Javier Arze & ending it on a sweet note with Petite-Soeur’s Ashleigh Pearson. @petitesoeurdc @furloughedchef @huntsman_speciality_game @maxwellpark_shaw @maxwellpark_navyyard @b2Kroll @javier.arze

It is the most wonderful time of the year. Okay, it's usually the most wonderful time of the year and you know what? We are sticking with that notion. So it’s time to start thinking how you’re going to make those you care about most merry & bright.

On Industry Night, Nycci talks with people who are really perfecting the art of giving. Bonnie Moore, executive director of Real Food for Kids who is collaborating with chef Tim Ma and DC Central Kitchen’s Ed Kwitowski to execute the program that blurs the lines between ‘school’ food, ‘restaurant’ food, and ‘home’ food. Later in the show, Medium Rare’s Mark Bucher talks about his annual Turkey Fry drive and his new initiative to feed both seniors and kids, Feed The Fridge. @realfoodforkids @mediumraredc @cheftimma @dccentalkitchen

A cocktail a day keeps the doctor away, amirite? Okay, maybe that's not the actual proverb but DC Cocktail Week returns next week (November 16-22, 2020) and I am just saying that this mama could use a drink (or 2 or 3). More than 75 restaurants across the DC Metro area have their chefs and mixologists collaborating in the form of cocktails paired with small plates. Most items are available for indoor and outdoor dining, takeout, delivery, and curbside pickup (check all listings). And, some restaurants have created cocktail-kits-to-go -- how fun!

Did you ever walk into a restaurant and think why did they put that there? And, why aren’t they doing this over here? There’s a reason for that and during the time of Covid there’s A LOT of reasons for how design and it’s aesthetic are executed. On the next Industry Night with Nycci Nellis, Allison Cooke of CORE architecture + design and Nycci geek out about everything happening in the DC food, wine & hospitality scene. @coredc @cheezbandit

Look where I am! I'm down at Buzzards Point the new sparkling development wedged between the Wharf and Navy Yard — this is The Point DC. For the month of November the good people of Fish & Fire Group aka Greg Casten are hosting Industry Night in their pretty fabulous property. And I am grateful and excited! So if you don't know the Point is Winner of the Restaurant Development & Design Magazine Award for "Best Restaurant Design," The Point has a glorious outdoor patio ideally situated where the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers join — talk about picturesque and panoramic views. Yes, I have been out and about the last week — did you see me? Little Black Bird - Chef Ryan Moore's and restaurateur Ashok Bajaj's darling wine bar in Tenley Casa Teresa in The Square - Richie Brandenburg and Rubén García's new massive food hall features the delightful restaurant, Casa Teresa It was a celebration of 1000 Hilton Garden Inns at the Hilton Garden Inn in Haymarket, Virginia - do not judge - Chef Joel Valente wowed us at his Red House Tavern On to today's show. So, I met today's guest omg like a really long time ago. Way back in the day, Victor Albisu was the chef at BLT Steak here in DC. This was 18 years ago? DC was in the process of getting it's mojo, and Victor here was at the beginning of that wild wave. Throughout the years, Victor has been behind amazing concepts - Del Campo, Poca Madre  and the fast-growing Taco Bamba. It's hard to believe that Taco Bamba started with a taqueria shop out in Falls Church in 2013, and now ten years later, Victor has eleven locations across Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Raleigh, NC, with more coming! We get into all the details ... Plus, stay tuned at the end of the show for the bonus content featuring Victor's run-in with ZZ Top.

Nycci talks with “Valley” wine industry veterans David Tate (Barnett Vineyards), Alan Viader (Viader Vineyard and Winery) & Kelly Carter (Alpha Omega Winery) about the multiple transformations they have had to make in 2020. Napa Valley wineries and vineyards turned on a dime when the pandemic hit — new delivery methods, virtual offerings and demonstrations — and then had to pivot again when not one but two fires breached the area taking vines and wine with it. Their stories. @nyccinellis @aowinery @tatewine @viader_napa @brettvanemst @napavintners

It is absolutely unconscionable that there are those in this country that goes to bed hungry at night. We are the land of plenty and yet some don’t have enough to eat. That’s pre-pandemic. Now, it is that much dire. On industry night, I gathered Debbie Shore of No Kid Hungry, Chef Erik Bruner Yang the creator of power of 10 and Mike Curtain of DC Central Kitchen and together we talk about the 2020 challenges of feeding the hungry. @deb.shore @nokidhungry @erikbruneryang @powerof10initiative @mikecurtinjr @dccentralkitchen @ramwdc

Well, we are in week 6 of the Covid-19 pandemic and everyday brings a new normal for us to grapple with. Some are staying at home — a roof over your head and a fridge full of food. Others do not have those luxuries. Today on Industry Night, Nycci is joined by the Chief Executive Officer of the Capital Area Food Bank, Radha Muthiah, who leads a team that currently distributes over 30 million meals to more than 400,000 food insecure people in the greater Washington region each year. What does this pandemic look like for the Capital Area Food Bank? How does the food bank feed the growing food insecure population? And, how can we all help?
