Burger Bash Throw Down
Event Information
Description
Ushering in our beef-and-grease-filled week of red meat revelry will be the first-ever Burger Throwdown from Burger Days and Capital Meat Company. Seven of the D.C. area’s greatest burger creators are coming together in an epic battle of the beef to prove who’s best. With a field that contains multiple Burger of the Year and Burger Battle winners, the Throwdown lineup is literally an all-star selection of the District’s burger scene.
Just check out this crew. There’s Matt Adler (2015 BOTY winner and multiple Burger Battle champ) from Osteria Morini, Brine’s John Critchley (another BOTY winner), The Source’s Scott Drewno (2013 Burger Battle winner), Ryan Hackney from Bibiana, Keith Long of Harvest Wood Grill, Alfie’s Alex McCoy (creator of our current burger crush) and The Commodore’s Travis Weiss (another 2015 BOTY winner). Yeah, it’s a pretty ridiculous collection of ground beef gurus.
Tickets for the event are $75 and are good for the seven Throwdown burgers and six beers from booze sponsors Denizens Brewing Co., Fair Winds and Right Proper.
Best of all, proceeds from the Throwdown will benefit Deaf-REACH (http://www.deaf-reach.org/), a non-profit working to maximize the self-sufficiency of deaf and hard of hearing people who need special services.

Organizer Deaf REACH
Organizer of Burger Bash Throw Down
Deaf-REACH seeks to maximize the quality of life of Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals and families through a wide spectrum of services.
We envision a world in which Deaf and Hard of Hearing people are equal participants in society.
TOGETHER WE CAN!
Deaf-REACH is a non-profit agency committed to maximize the self-sufficiency of deaf and hard of hearing people who need special services. By providing referral, education, employment, advocacy, counseling and housing, Deaf-REACH offers specialized programs and access to additional services within The Washington, D.C. area. While the agency welcomes all deaf and hard –of-hearing people, various programs focus on the specific needs of those who are also mentally ill, developmentally disabled or socially and economically disadvantaged. Included are group homes and apartments, information and referral to community services, personal counseling, housing placement assistance, vocational training and job placement, addictions counseling, HIV prevention education, life skills training and socialization activities.
Our Philosophy:
All Deaf-REACH programs embrace the nationally acclaimed psychosocial rehabilitation approach to mental health. Utilizing this approach, members are actively involved with professionals in their own treatment, helping establish the format and level of service delivery that they receive. An important aspect involves learning necessary life skills, thus minimizing the need for assistance from a service professional. This self-empowerment is part of what distinguishes the approach at Deaf-REACH and provides a solid foundation for member’s success.
