Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Nando's Peri Peri in D.C.'s Chinatown.
Over the past few months, we’ve seen D.C. area restaurants sort through a new series of ethical questions about what it means to do business in an intensely political atmosphere. One restaurant in Friendship Heights, Maggiano’s, apologized for hosting a white nationalist group. Meanwhile, Comet Ping Pong, a pizza joint in Chevy Chase, had to cope with online conspiracy theories made all too real when an armed man showed up during lunch service. With the inauguration just a few days away, we talk with a journalist and a restaurateur about how some of our favorite eateries are taking a stand or attempting to stay out of the fray.
Guests
- Tim Carman Food Writer, The Washington Post
- Erik Bruner-Yang Executive Chef and owner, Maketto, Honeycomb and the soon-to-open Brothers and Sister and Spoken English in the Line Hotel
