I just got back from a week in San Francisco where I attended the Slow Food Nation event. It was a three-day event around the city to celebrate local artisanal food. Rather than rewrite what we did, you can read posts from the ST Chronicles below (from Sustainable Table):
9 Beers, 9 Cheeses, Happy People
Tantalizing Tastes at the Taste Pavilions
It was a lot of food – so I certainly can’t complain! – but it was exhausting. I mean, how much great food can a person eat in a day? (A lot, in case you’re not sure…) I met a lot of wonderful people, had fantastic weather (don’t know if I believe those stories about it being cold and foggy there…). Though, one day, there was fog rolling in over the bay – we could see it out on the water, and, as we were looking, a huge container ship glided silently through the mist out of nowhere – it was really cool – looked totally like a ghost ship.
Oh – and if you interested in any photos from Slow Food Nation, there are a few on Sustainable Table’s Flickr account.
