Ever felt like you’re the only one who appreciates a nice al fresco meal? Well you’ll be able to join 79 of your fellow outdoor diners on Thursday, August 5th when the folks behind D.C.’s annual International Food and Wine Festival debut their Urban Farm Table. Billed as “much more than a barbeque with a bureaucratic backdrop,” the dinner will be served under the stars at long communal tables in the center of the Woodrow Wilson Plaza at the Ronald Reagan Building.

The evening will start at 8:00pm with a BBQ canape reception with the chefs, followed by a four-course gourmet meal beginning at dusk.

Diners will sample dishes made by local D.C. chefs such as Olivier Perret of Ici Urban Bistro, Todd Gray of Equinox, Xavier Deshayes of the Ronald Reagan Building and Tiffany Maclssac of Birch & Barley and Churchkey.

Tickets will run you $70 (or $60 if you are a Tastepost.com member) and are still available, but going fast. To scoop yours up, send an email here.
