It’s the season’s top culinary event, and you don’t want to miss it. For two days only, indulge in food, entertaining, and fun at the MetroCooking DC Show, December 3 and 4 at the Washington Convention Center. Enjoy delicious food, celebrity chef cooking demos, culinary classes, wine and beer tastings, book signings, shopping, and more.

Hit up the James Beard chefs’ cooking demos, featuring celebrity all-stars Tom Colicchio, Jacques Pepin, and Duff Goldman, or the hands-on L’Academie de Cuisine cooking classes if you need a culinary refresher. On Saturday, head into the BBQ Bash to try all of your favorite local BBQ joints, and sip on a cold one in the Beer, Wine, and Spirits Garden. Then on Sunday, find the RAMW Grand Tasting Pavilion to try exclusive bites from 50 of the city’s most popular restaurants. Between specialty food vendors for you to shop from, book signings, a photo booth, and a DJ, you’ll have no trouble finding fun.

Enjoy $5 Off General Admission tickets with promo code Taste5. Tickets are on sale now at metrocookingdc.com — shop, sip, and sample away.
