3rd Annual Brainfood Grill-Off

[txaggie]

Please join Brainfood for a great outdoor evening of food, cocktails, wine tasting and a spirited grilling competition. Watch teams of award-winning chefs, amateur grilling afficionados and Brainfood program graduates compete for top honors and the Brainfood Skillet Award.

Brainfood serves a critical need in the DC youth community. Brainfood uses food and cooking to teach life skills and healthy living to our area's youths in a safe and positive environment. 100% of ticket sales will help Brainfood to continue to offer after-school and summer institute programs, including hands-on instruction, educational field trips and guest chef demonstrations. Each pair of tickets purchased will buy food for one teen in Brainfood's summer program.

This is not your average charity event - it's fun, casual, outdoors and competitive!!
