    The Intersection of The Community, Contemporary Art & Culinary
    Oct 2 2025
    Welcome back to Industry Night with me, Nycci Nellis.

    I’m here today at Capital One Center in Tysons, Virginia, a 35-acre mixed-use development that has completely redefined this part of Fairfax County. It’s not just office towers and retail; it’s a cultural hub with Capital One Hall, The Watermark Hotel, Capital One Park, and The Perch, a three-acre skypark with a biergarten, food trucks, and even mini golf. And built into all of it is a deep commitment to the arts, whether that’s public sculptures, world-class performances, or what’s plated in the restaurants here.

    That commitment is front and center this fall with the Capital One Center Celebration of the Arts, a two-day immersive festival happening October 4th and 5th. I will be there leading a fireside chat with artists and chefs. The event will transform the campus into a multi-block celebration filled with installations, workshops, live music, culinary experiences, and more — all in partnership with the Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art.

    To talk about the festival and the bigger story of Capital One Center, I am thrilled to be joined by:
    • Erin Mical, Vice President of Central Operations at Capital One, who oversees much of the vision and growth of this development,
    • Meghan Trossen, Senior Manager of Marketing and Community Affairs, who curates the community programming and signature events that bring this campus to life,
    • and Jonell Logan, Executive Director of the Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art, who is collaborating with Capital One on this year’s festival.
    We have a lot to get into — development, community, art, and why creativity matters now more than ever.

    Welcome back to Industry Night, the podcast where we dig deep into what’s cooking, literally and figuratively—across the culinary, hospitality, and creative industries. I’m your host, Nycci Nellis, and today I’m once again coming to you from City Ridge, a dynamic new development that has redefined a massive corner of Northwest D.C.

    What was once the historic Fannie Mae headquarters is now a 10-acre, mixed-use community, home to residences, shops, a Wegmans, an Equinox, and a growing collection of destination restaurants.

    And today, I’m thrilled to be sitting down in one of the most anticipated openings yet: Acqua Bistecca, from the legendary Michael Mina. Many of you know Mina from his D.C. debut back in 2009 with Bourbon Steak at the Four Seasons. Over the years, that restaurant has remained one of the city’s best, thanks to extraordinary teams led by chefs like David Varley and Adam Sobel, and sommeliers like Winn Roberton.

    But Mina’s story stretches back even further, to his very first restaurant, AQUA, in San Francisco in 1991, and now extends to 30+ restaurants worldwide under his MINA Group. Mina has built a reputation for blending creativity and hospitality into every project. And now, with Acqua Bistecca at City Ridge, he’s bringing D.C. a new Italian-inspired concept that’s equal parts party and fine dining.

    Oh and we get a special guest, Chef Colin Clark AB’s executing chef pops in with one of Mina’s famous steaks.

    Chapters:

    00:00 - Introduction
    01:15 - "Michael Mina's New Restaurant Chat"
    05:34 - "Consistency Key in Modern Hospitality"
    07:51 - D.C. Food Scene Growth Forecast
    12:13 - "Lively Italian Restaurant Vibes"
    13:29 - Opulent Hotel Design Resurgence
    19:02 - "Culinary Collaboration and Vision"
    21:12 - Unique Advance-Order Large Dishes
    25:20 - "Kitchen Transparency Through Recipe Exchange"
    27:40 - "Meeting Chef Colin Clark"
    28:30 - Outro

    Quotes:

    “Opening is just the beginning. True success comes from empowering your team to consistently create something extraordinary together.”- Michael Mina

    “Creating unique and memorable experiences for people inspires me every day.”- Colin Clark

    “The magic of a restaurant lies not just in the food, but in the moments when people come together to celebrate with energy and joy.”- Nycci Nellis

    Key Takeaways:

    Humble Beginnings to Industry Icon
    The Secret to Restaurant Longevity
    Building a Hospitality Empire
    The Magic of Acqua Bisteca
    Menu Highlights and Collaboration
    Advice for Aspiring Chefs
    Hospitality’s New Era in DC

    Welcome back to Industry Night, the podcast where we dig deep into what’s cooking, literally and figuratively, across the culinary and hospitality industries. I’m your host, Nycci Nellis, and I’m thrilled to kick off my new residency at City Ridge!City Ridge isn’t just another development, it’s a 10-acre reimagining of the former Fannie Mae headquarters into a thriving mixed-use community. Think Wegmans, Equinox, sleek residences, buzzing restaurants, and thoughtfully curated retail. As someone who’s always been fascinated by how large-scale developments come to life, especially when it comes to nailing the aesthetic and attracting the right culinary talent, this is a total dream assignment.In this episode, I sit down with Rob Wolcheski, who’s been involved with the City Ridge project since day one. We chat inside the gorgeous new Shinwa Izakaya, where Chef Winston sends out an incredible sushi spread while we unpack how City Ridge evolved from blueprints to a neighborhood anchor.Then, I head over to King Street Oyster Bar for a briny intermission (see: massive tray of oysters in front of me) as I welcome two very special guests: Tatiana Mora and Miguel Guerra, the powerhouse culinary duo behind MITA. We talk about their Michelin-starred journey, deep cultural roots, and how MITA blends Latin American cuisine with a holistic, wellness-driven philosophy.Tatiana is the first Venezuelan female chef to earn a Michelin star. Miguel? The youngest Venezuelan chef to achieve that same feat. Together, they’ve created more than a restaurant, it’s a mission, a movement, and a must-visit.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction02:24 - "Michelin Stars & Culinary Conversations"05:13 - Community-Centric Experiential Living07:02 - Cultivating Intimate Community Living10:50 - Wegmans D.C.: Diverse Culinary Offerings13:46 - "Youngest Chef's Award-Winning Mita"16:30 - "Reimagining Luxury in Dining"21:44 - Reluctant Stay Amidst Political Tensions24:08 - Starting a Home Experience Initiative28:44 - "Culinary Transition and Pursuit"29:26 - Mita's Unique Fine Dining Experience33:26 - "Tasting the Chef's Mood"38:38 - "Nourishing Hospitality at Mita"39:22 - "Creating a Homely Restaurant Atmosphere"45:15 - Essential Restaurant Collaborations Explained47:43 - Balancing Work and Relationships50:02 - "Culinary Adventures with YC Cinelli"51:05 - OutroKey Takeaways:Reimagining City LivingBuilding Communities, Not Just BuildingsAward-Winning Plant-Based ExcellenceThe Power of Collaboration and ConnectionHospitality with HeartCultural and Culinary FusionResilience and InspirationPursuing Passion and JoyGuests Social Media Links:Podcast Locations:https://www.instagram.com/cityridgedc?igsh=dnZtNWVhbmdlbzlzhttps://www.instagram.com/kingstreetoyster?igsh=OXBqNnBncXdzMmk2 https://www.instagram.com/shinwaizakayadc/Rob Wolcheski:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/shinwaizakayadc/Tatiana Mora:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mita_dc/Website: https://www.mitadc.comMiguel Guerra:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mita_dc/Website: https://www.mitadc.comMaru Valdes:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/maru_valdes5?igsh=bDkxZWdnZWVqNHNtFeaturing Nycci NellisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis/Website:https://www.thelistareyouonit.com/Produced by Heartcast Mediahttp://www.heartcastmedia.com
