FALLS CHURCH— Chefs Will Artley and Victor Albisu are hosting a "Battle of the Bulges" competition dinner on Monday, Aug. 26 for the Fit for Hope fundraising campaign. Both chefs are trying to lose weight for the fundraising competition, so presumably they won't be indulging too much themselves. For $80, attendees can sample a five course dinner of dueling dishes with wine pairings and vote on their favorite courses. The losing chef has to run a 5k race. More info here. [EaterWire]

GEORGETOWN— Bourbon Steak has scheduled an "Old Fashioned Showdown" for Sunday. Guests can see six bartenders compete against each other for the title of best Old Fashioned in town. The event is $70 and starts at noon. [EaterWire]
