Sips & Suppers is a two-day weekend event that supports and celebrates the work of DC Central Kitchen and Martha's Table's fight against homelessness and hunger in the nation's capital. We snapped the CEOs, Martha's Table's Patty Stonesifer and DCCK's Mike Curtin.

We took the "party-vator" (elevators with bars) up to the mixology floor and took sips of Tico's bourbon with corn and Greek yogurt puree, Catoctin Creek's banana-infused whiskey, and The Next Whiskey Bar's basil hayden bourbon with buttered popcorn. Here, Sue Ellen Lazarus, Winebow's Stacy Lee and Kay Mallon, who provided the Juve & Lamps chardonnay for the evening.
