On Sunday January 18^th I was a guest on “Dishing It Out” a weekly radio show hosted by Nycci and David Nellis. I was interviewed along with Ellen Gray Of Equinox Restaurant (a new fave of the Obama’s) and Padua Player the Suga Chef. Click here to listen.

This morning both Kristina Robertson and I were on Fox 5 with Holly Morris. We filmed at Equinox Restaurant and were joined by several of the featured Chef’s that will be at Sugar and Champagne as well as some dogs from the Washington Humane Society.
