Episode Synopsis
Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis. On today’s show: · Glendon Hartley, co-owner of U Street’s celebrated Service Bar and a partner at the equally celebrated Peruvian concepts, Causa and Bar Amazonia, is West Indian. But he’s really a cultural citizen of the world whose inquisitiveness, travels and research infuse his hospitality concepts and cocktails with unique blends of international influences. Glendon is in with some creative cocktail concocting and tales of Causa and Amazonia; · We can’t seem to stop there with talk of cocktails – that’s why Lukas Smith, the self-described “mad scientist of the D.C. craft bartending scene,” is here. He’s a spirits educator, the Line Hotel’s beverage director and co-owner of Made To Measure Cocktails in to whip us up about his quest to bring the practical use of whole botanicals back into the purview of the working mixologist. Can he do it? Is he Don Quixote? We’ll see! · Rick Easton, the James Beard Award-nominated owner of cult-favorite bakery Bread & Salt, has a riveting cookbook/manifesto called ”Bread and How to Eat It.” His premise is that people will line up around the block to buy bread from popular bakeries, without really appreciating the many qualities of this humble product. You’ll find out what he means when we are joined by his just-as-famous coauthor, life partner and our old and good friend, Eater’s Melissa McCart; · Anna Valero is Kraken Up! As the genius entrepreneur behind Hook Hall, the event space and community gathering space in Park View, she’s now also the driving force behind D.C.’s ONLY indoor roller skating and pickleball venue, Kraken Kourts & Skates. Anna’s rolling in later to explain what makes her world go ‘round. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
