Slow Food

I first became acquainted with Slow Food when they partnered with the Lobby Lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin to host a "Slow Food Happy Hour". It featured locally sourced appetizers and discounted "slow" drinks. After reading further about Slow Food and what the movement stands for, I quickly realized that this is a movement that I fully support.

What is Slow Food?

"Slow Food is an idea, a way of living and a way of eating. It is a global, grassroots movement with thousands of members around the world that links the pleasure of food with a commitment to community and the environment."

The Slow Food way of living:

1. Get cooking.

2. Shop locally.

3. Avoid genetically modified foods.

4. Buy organic.

5. Grow your own food.

6. Share your home cooked meals.

Here at One Green Table, we fully support all of these ideas. We also believe that food=community. There are over 200 local chapters, linking communities all over the U.S.

It's time for everyone to slow down, don't you think?
