cooking up.

Order up another episode of In the Weeds Podcast with Chef Spike Mendelsohn.

Woo, if you have ever had an unforgettable night in Washington, D.C., there's a good chance my next guest has something to do with it.

He's the founder of Versus Equity, the powerhouse behind some of D.C.'s most celebrated restaurants and nightlife venues, the kind of places where a drink Drake goes to Michelle Obama, LeBron James, and Spike Mendelsohn show up, and nobody wants to go home.

He's also a top lobbyist, a venture capitalist, and somehow DC's official chairman of nightlife and culture, which is either the best government job ever created or proof that Venoda just makes things up as they come true.

Please welcome my friend, Venoda Basnayak.

That was a great spot.

Yeah.
