Travel Channel Chef Serving Fire Meets Flavor Dinners In McLean

MCLEAN, VA — Every Wednesday in July, Chef David Guas is trading his show on the Travel Channel "American Grilled" from the judge's chair for some serious patio plates and partnering with Neutral Ground Bar + Kitchen neighbor, The Organic Butcher.

Beginning on July 2, a maximum of 22 diners will be seated on the patio to enjoy five courses of expertly grilled, seasonal ingredients served as tasting portions of produce from local farms. The courses will include locally sourced heritage meats and freshly caught seafood provided by Guas' friends at The Organic Butcher.

Diners will also be able to take advantage of half-priced bottles from the special “Weekend” Wednesdays Wine List, which is available for the entire restaurant. If you don’t finish the bottle, you can take it home to enjoy.

A lucky guest will receive a complimentary copy of Chef Guas’ award-winning "Grill Nation" cookbook, personally autographed as a parting gift.

Seating for these Fire Meets Flavor Wednesdays begins at 6:30 p.m. and is limited to 22 diners. The price is $55 per person and you must purchase the full table for two or four guests. A six-person table is upon request. Single tickets are not available. Reservations are available online.

To celebrate Independence Day, Chef Gaus is taking the best of Neutral Ground Bar + Kitchen's Brunch and Lunch menus and combining them into a BrunchLunch Kind-of-Day.
