What do Tom Colicchio and Andrew Zimmern have in common? For starters, they were both at the James Beard Foundation Awards earlier this week. Andrew as the event co-host, Tom as the recipient of the Outstanding Chef Award. Second, they both host wildly popular food TV shows on Bravo and Travel Channel. But most importantly to you – they will both be at events in DC this week.

I love this new foodie trend- I am going to start my own, being a “Sleepie”. I sleep in different venues, with different bed products and different jammie-jams and then I write about my experience. In this hustle and bustle 21st century world 2.0 sometimes our hobbies have to overlap with our basic human needs.
