The National Zoo’s annual fund-raiser, ZooFari, is this weekend and it brings close to 100 of Washington, D.C., best chefs, restaurants and wine makers,  for an evening of dancing, live music and entertainment, animal encounters, and gourmet foods.
A few of the notable restaurants include DC’s Kinkead’s and Vidalia as well as 2941 in suburban Falls Church, VA.
