For nearly two decades, Chefs in Shorts has been a summer staple at the Seaport World Trade Center (200 Seaport Blvd.). On June 24 from 7–10 p.m., savor this 19th annual backyard barbecue on steroids that offers food from dozens of the top restaurants in town—including Bar Boulud, Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse, Scampo and Top of the Hub—who fire up their grills for this charitable food fest that also features plenty of beer, wine, sweet treats and even a contest to determine the day’s best dish. The all-inclusive tickets—which benefit Future Chefs, a local nonprofit that fosters careers in the culinary arts—are $80 and can be purchased at chefsinshorts2016.eventbrite.com. —Scott Roberto
