By Chilled Magazine

Katie Stuart of Washington D.C. is bar manager of Foo Dog: Asian Street Food and this week’s featured Chilled 100 Bartender member.

Katie started in the restaurant industry when she was just a teenager and was always fascinated by bartenders making drinks and watched in awe of their confidence levels.

After moving out of the service industry and flipping between jobs for a couple of years, Katie came back to bartending because she missed the creativity and the hustle along with the people and bar life.  “I started working for a BBQ restaurant and was voted one of the best bartenders in Richmond VA in 2019-20. I was offered a promotion to bar management at another restaurant within the same company and I accepted (and still work there). When the pandemic hit, I was so bored and keep creating cocktails in my home and started posting them and my life on TikTok and now have created a following of 150k followers, many collaborations with different companies, and more friendships I can hold dear to my heart.” 

 

Katie is currently the bar manager at Foo Dog: Asian Street Food in Richmond Virginia. “It is an anime inspired bar with some of the best ramen in the city,” she says. “We have a giant projector screen that always has anime on. Our cocktail list incorporates classic and modern cocktails with an Asian inspiration. For example, our Nezuko Chan Cosmo is a twist on a Cosmopolitan with Nigori Sake. Our walls tell a story with art that covers the entire restaurant. If you’re ever in town, check us out!”
