    DC Food Wars Airing Party

    Tues, April 13th, Grand Central, 2447 18th Street NW, Washington, DC, 8:30-11pm

    It’s next week! Finally! While the District of Columbia is best known for politics and historical landmarks, who would have thought that a jumbo-sized pizza slice could create such a stir? It’s a real Food War — with two warring brothers behind it all. Only one brother can win this food war. Which is it going to be, Pizza Mart or Jumbo Slice? You’ll have to watch to find out (I’m sworn to secrecy). It’s going to be exciting! Join us to watch the airing of DC’s Food Wars at Grand Central with other Fans and a one of the owners of the pizza establishments in the Food War!

    If you haven’t heard, the new series titled FOOD WARS aired beginning March 9 on the Travel Channel. The host, Camille Ford, has been visiting various cities around the country and learning about their iconic food dishes. Camille has traveled to Minneapolis, Texas, Kansas, Tucson, and next up on their food journey: Washington, DC for the “Jumbo Slice.” The DC Food Wars with Dining in DC’s Lisa Shapiro, who served as a judge for the blindfolded taste test will air on Tuesday, April 13 at 10:00 p.m. EST. Who else is a local favorite? Yep! That’s right! Carla Hall. She may not be able to attend, but we’re working on it.

    Here’s a Dining in DC article about the episode.
