Slow Food Nations and the Eater Young Guns Summit: A New Chapter in Food

Slow Food Nations and the Eater Young Guns Summit were comprised of workshops, speaker series, and tasting tables in order to bring an awareness to food that goes beyond buzzwords like cage-free, sustainably harvested, and ethically sourced. Both events were able to challenge attendees to think about what a restaurant can be, and what we as diners, neighbors, and cooks, can bring to the table.
