Food Talk Fills Line Hotel’s Entertainment Channel

Groundbreaking restaurants aren’t the only thing Adams Morgan’s new Line hotel offers into terms of entertainment.

In-house broadcasting operation Full Service Radio features nearly a dozen streaming shows and podcasts that touch on hospitality issues big and small.

The current lineup includes:

• Beer Me: has interviewed Atlas Brew Works co-founder Justin Cox, Boundary Stone bar manager Colleen Gillespie, and Right Proper Brewing Company co-founder Thor Cheston
• Dolcezza Radio: Dolcezza co-founders Robb Duncan and Violeta Edelman talk about gelato
• Foreign National: Restaurateur Erik Bruner-Yang, who has two restaurants inside the hotel (all-day eatery Brothers and Sisters, and nearly ready Asian grill Spoken English) discusses current events, cultural identity, and, of course, all things hospitality
• Industry Night with Foodie & the Beast: Married radio hosts Nycci and David Nellis expand upon their long-standing weekend talk show with this new weekday forum featuring local chefs, restaurateurs, brewers, distillers, and other hospitality professionals.
• The Leap: has interviewed Soupergirl founder Sara Polon, Chaia co-founder Bettina Stern, and former food writer turned entrepreneur Amanda McClements
• Lunch Agenda: this show focuses on food activism, delving into how people, policy, and to a large degree produce (at least so far) intersect
• Origins: Restaurateur Spike Gjerde, who’s debut D.C. restaurant, A Rake’s Progress, opened earlier this week inside the Line, recently sat down with pioneering chef and Chez Panisse founder Alice Waters, to discuss the state of American dining
• Pineapple Radio: the women-led Pineapple group chats with female chefs, entrepreneurs, food journalists, policy makers, and others who influence the dining world
• Shift Drink: this industry-related show recently interviewed Washingtonian food editor Jessica Sidman and Washington City Paper food editor Laura Hayes about the local dining scene.
• Songbyrd Radio: the Adams Morgan coffee shop/performance venue mainly talks music, but still
• The Tidbit: this small business-centric show recently interviewed local restaurateur Paul Ruppert (Petworth Citizen, Room 11, Slim’s Diner)
