Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Inside the restaurant Pineapple and Pearls in SE Washington
This fall the prestigious Michelin Guide will include D.C. restaurants for the first time — news that has foodies aflutter that D.C.’s restaurant scene has finally “arrived.” But for restaurants and chefs, the coveted stars can be a mixed blessing. From intense pressure to get a star to expectations and speculation about who and what creates haute cuisine, the Michelin badge of honor can be a business-altering achievement. We examine what Michelin’s entry into D.C. means for diners and the restaurant scene in a food town coming into its own.
