William Neuheisel of DC Central Kitchen recently chatted with dcist about the event, saying that they will be “closing V Street in front of the club so we can add more restaurants and food trucks. We’re also going to put some dessert stations inside the club, so that folks can move inside, but keep eating as the music is progressing. . . A lot of people know us for the 4,500 meals we produce every day for homeless shelters and social service agencies. But our star programs are the things we do to really create solutions to fight hunger, recognizing that feeding people is only the first step.” This includes a Culinary Job Training Program and a social enterprise program.
Dance, eat, drink, and do some good in the world while you’re at it. To win the pair of tickets, tell us your favorite song about food OR band with food in the name. Obviously, The Pietasters doesn’t count.
The winner will be chosen Thursday (5/19) at noon.
