If you want to hear great DJs at the 9:30 Club and eat lots of tasty food at a benefit for the DC Central Kitchen, you’re in luck because “Sound Bites” is exactly that, and it’s happening this Sunday (the 23rd).

Benefiting the D.C. Central Kitchen, a community kitchen focused on solving the interconnected problems of poverty, hunger, and homelessness, SoundBites is a half-outdoor feast, half-indoor concert full of tasty eats and hot jams. Starting the event is a tented food bazaar outside of 9:30 Club, chock-full of free samples from lots of the area’s finest cuisine-purveyors.

After getting your nosh on, we’ll open the Club’s doors, where you can work off all of that deliciousness by grooving with five of the scene’s best DJs and bands.

This May, help a D.C. establishment that truly deserves it, while having some of the best food-fueled fun of your life. With free samples from area restaurants including: BGR the Burger Joint • Busboys and Poets • ChurchKey • CommonWealth Gastropub • Cork EatBar • Fresh Start Catering • Harry’s Tap Room • Indique • Jaleo • Maddy’s Bar & Grill • Marvin • Masa 14 • Mie N Yu • Radius Pizza • Sâuçá • Taylor Gourmet • Zola Kitchen and Wine Bar

DC Central Kitchen is a worthy organization, and I’m not just saying that because their Chief Development Officer is one of our cool neighbors. You can buy tickets here
