Slow Food Nation ‘08

If you’re a fan of Slow Food, or just interested in checking out the scene, then consider Slow Food Nation ‘08. It’s going to be held in San Francisco over Labor Day, and visitors will get to enjoy live music, taste testing, a lecture and teaching series, and live music, among other things.

What’s more, if you’re willing to pony up $2,500 and become a Patron, you not only help underwrite the event but also receive a special package as a thank-you. This package includes dinner with Alice Waters, and VIP access to all areas of the event.

If that’s too steep, there’s also a $125 option to have lunch with Alice Waters. However, this event is a fund-raiser for the Slow Food Nation ‘08 event, and is being held on August 9.
