Brown Liquor & Chicken: The Cousins Reunion

It all started in the summer of 2017 on a $100 grill in the front yard of the homie's crib in Southeast DC. What began as a simple cookout became a tradition — good people, brown liquor, and chicken. No frills, no pretension, just family.

After a 4-year hiatus, Brown Liquor & Chicken is BACK for a Cousin Reunion at Anacostia Park on Juneteenth.

This year we're celebrating Rilo's 40th and over a decade of community organizing and bringing vibes to the District. Like most years, BL&C has always found a way to give back to the community. This year is no different. For the big 4-0, Rilo has set a $10,000 fundraising goal for SGA's Fairway Fund — a 501(c)(3) on a mission to open the game of golf to Black and Brown communities and give back to HBCUs. Your donation is tax-deductible. Come eat, come celebrate, come give back.

What to expect: Rilo and Cousin Los on the grill. 400 lbs of chicken. DJ Dre on the 1s and 2s. All vibes.

The house rules:

• Your ticket + a bottle to donate to the bar = your entry into the cookout.
• You can bring a cooler of your own.
• As usual, there will be no sides. If you want sides with your chicken, bring that in your cooler along with your extra bottles.
• Tents are recommended. For those who need one, we have tents available to rent — deadline to grab that ticket is May 22nd.

Which Cousin are you? 🕐 Early. 🕐 On time. 🕐 Late. 🕐 Late Late.

To the Cousins who been here before — welcome back. To the first-time Cousins — welcome to Brown Liquor & Chicken.

Pull up. Bring a bottle. Grab a plate. Give back.
