If we’re talking top D.C. events, The RAMMYs Gala, hosted by the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington (RAMW) is always a contender. This year the 37th Annual Gala will take place on Sunday, June 30, 2019, at the Walter E.  Washington Convention Center honoring “exceptional ability and accomplishments of the hard-working individuals and organizations of the Washington, DC region’s restaurant and foodservice community.”

This year RAMW is also hosting another special event earlier in the month with a 2019 RAMMY Awards Restaurateur Roundtable and a conversation with The RAMMYS Honorary Milestone recipients on Monday, June 3, from 2 pm to 4 pm at Tony & Joe’s Seafood, which will provide bites at the event. If you work in the restaurant industry, own a restaurant, or are just a D.C. foodie, this is a discussion that you should add to your calendar.
