Metropolitan Washington BBQ & Grilling Week presented by Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington (RAMW) sweeps the greater Washington region for the first time this summer, with over 25 restaurants presenting fixed price menus to satisfy barbecue cravings. The celebration takes place June 19—25, and beginning today diners can view participating restaurants and book reservations at www.bbqweekdc.com, and will be able to scope out each restaurant’s “Flavors of Summer in the City” themed offerings available for $11, $22, or $33.
Metropolitan Washington BBQ & Grilling Week concludes with the 25th Annual Giant National Capital Barbecue Battle, bringing cooking contests, live entertainment, open-air beverage gardens and more to Pennsylvania Avenue NW on June 24—25. RAMW is also proud to partner with USO of Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore, and some participating restaurants are choosing to donate a portion of their BBQ & Grilling Week proceeds to assist USO’s mission to provide programs and services for active duty troops and their families.
