Zena Polin is the co-owner of Beauty Champagne & Sugar Boutique and co-founder of two award-winning restaurants in Maryland, The Dish & Dram and The Daily Dish, a restaurant and catering company.
She has traveled to more than 75 countries and is a trilingual author who has written about food and wine for local and international publications. She was the managing editor of Visitor St. Kitts & Nevis and Discover St. Kitts for six years. Her first book, The Pub, Club & Grub Guide to Washington, DC, was a reflection of her early love for food and drink.
