Forget fast food. You want good eating – so you want slow food. And when it comes to slow food, it doesn’t get better than what we can grow right here in Oregon. Slow Foods Eugene promotes good eating of quality food, especially food produced close to home, and on Sunday, Sept. 28, you can feast on some of the best slow food available.
Slow Foods Eugene is holding a fundraising dinner at Adam’s Place in downtown Eugene, to support the School Garden Project and to send a local farmer and local chef to Slow Food’s Tierre Madre event, held in Italy as a conference for slow food promotion worldwide. The price is $100 per person, which includes 7-course meal, wine, and gratuity. Of the $100 ticket, $60 is a charitable donation to Slow Food Eugene.
If good food at one of Eugene’s best restaurants isn’t enough for you, the Slow Foods newsletter (PDF) notes:
Executive Chef Adam Bernstein welcomes us to a wonderful evening of great food and entertainment. He promises belly dancers and, perhaps, another surprise, insurance carrier permitting.
How’s that for an enticing evening?
