On Tuesday, July 19, six top DC chefs will gather at DNV Rooftop in downtown DC, for the return of “Chefs Behind Bars,” a cocktail event to benefit No Kid Hungry’s work to end childhood hunger in America. From 6:00 – 8:30 p.m., Washingtonians can enjoy signature drinks concocted by the city’s most renowned culinary talent, all while helping No Kid Hungry make sure all kids have the healthy food they need, every day.

Location: DNV Rooftop, 1155 14 th Street, NW, Washington DC 20005

Admission: $45 in advance; $50 at the door

Guests are invited atop one of DC’s hottest rooftop bars for an unlikely chef showdown for best cocktail. Each chef will be paired with a liquor sponsor to create one signature drink, which they will serve to the crowd and a panel of notable industry experts throughout the evening. A “people’s choice” award will be presented based on cash tips from the general public, while a “judges’ choice” award will be based on ratings from the judging panel.

In addition to cocktail sips, DNV Rooftop will provide tastes from their Japanese street food-inspired menu.

The confirmed line-up includes Chef Yo Matsuzaki (Zentan, DNV Rooftop), Chef Jonathan Dearden (Radiator), Chef Matt Adler (Osteria Morini), Chef Ryan Hackney (Bibiana), Chef Ed Scarpone (DBGB Kitchen and Bar) and Chef Seng Luangrath (Thip Khao).

“This event brings together six great restaurants in the District, their talented chefs, and host DNV Rooftop for a fantastic evening in support of No Kid Hungry. ‘Chefs Behind Bars’ will raise critical funds and help us fulfill our mission of ensuring kids get the healthy food they need every day,” said Billy Shore, founder and CEO of Share Our Strength.

“I’m thrilled to host ‘Chefs Behind Bars’ on our rooftop this summer,” said Chef Yo Matsuzaki. “The friendly competition among local DC chefs is a fun way to fundraise and bring awareness to No Kid Hungry’s great work in the community.”

In the event of rain, “Chefs Behind Bars” will be rescheduled for the following Tuesday, July 26.

One in five children in this country struggles with hunger, including nearly 31,000 kids in DC. No Kid Hungry is ending childhood hunger in this nation by ensuring that kids start the day with a nutritious breakfast and have healthy meals in the summer. Since the campaign’s launch, No Kid Hungry and its partners have connected kids struggling with hunger with more than 460 million healthy meals.

Tickets to the Chefs Behind Bars event can be purchased at join.nokidhungry.org/ChefsBehindBars.
