]]> Giant Panda at the National Zoo in Washington, DC 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.

Since this year’s theme highlights the zoo’s efforts to save amphibians from global extinction, I doubt frogs legs will be served.
