Slow Food Comes to SF

The Slow Food movement was formed as a direct response to the growth of fast food and the subsequent crowding out of traditional foods and food cultures. The movement was founded in Italy in 1986 by Carlo Petrini. Slow Food USA is coming to SF this weekend and we will be linking to stories covering the event all week. Today’s SF Gate has a nice overview of the movement and the weekend’s events, you can read it here.
