About DC Central Kitchen’s Capital Food Fight
DC Central Kitchen returns on November 6, 2025 at one of our city’s most beloved concert venues, The Anthem! Join us for an evening of fighting hunger differently-where we will reflect on our impact over the past year, lay the foundation for all the work yet to be done, and celebrate the talent and resiliency of our restaurant community. Long known as one of the region’s best culinary events, Capital Food Fight provides partners a unique and unmatched opportunity to promote brands, entertain clients, and be publicly recognized for investments in our shared community.

“DC Central Kitchen’s biggest annual fundraiser returns to the Anthem for its 20th years. Going head-to-head at the live culinary battle are chefs Katarina Petonito (The Duck & The Peach), Sarah Ravitz (Shilling Canning Company and Minibar alum), Yuan Tang (Ellie Bird, Rooster & Owl), and Jovana Urriola (Colada Shop), who will take to the stage to prepare dishes based on secret ingredients.”
“Over the years, this food fight has raised $12 million for the non-profit and its noble mission to fight poverty by training people for good jobs while delivering nutritious food to our neighbors in need.”
“One of the most momentous food events in the D.C. area, Capital Food Fight brings together more than 70 restaurants for tastings, while four top local chefs compete in a live culinary battle.”
