Slow Food Nation Podcasts

I’m sure many of you have seen or heard about Slow Food Nation, the country’s largest and most comprehensive arrtisan food event being held this upcoming weekend in San Fransisco. If you haven’t, you can check out the event’s site here, or read articles about it in most every major publication available. A quick google will return all kinds of results, but I’ll save you the trouble by offering you these links: Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and more. Also look for a feature in the September issue of Vanity Fair.

In related news, Buffalo’s own Flying Bison and White Cow Dairy will have their extraordinary products featured at the event. In both cases this is a hard earned and well deserved honor.

Finally, for those of you more interested in an up close and personal look at the event, the website CHOW (best known for lumping Buffalo and the rest of New York State in with its ambiguous Tri-State Region classification), has posted a good number of podcasts featuring Slow Food Nation organizers. Director Anya Fernald gives a great overview of the event and chats a little bit about the many misconceptions associated with Slow Food as an organization. Also of interest are podcasts from the curators handling specific food categories for SFN. Coffee, beer, preserves, and pickles and chutney each get a little airtime of their own.

In the next few weeks we’ll post a few other stories providing you with links to important and interesting information about Slow Food as an organization. Stay tuned.
