Uncommon Ground Presents... 5th Annual Slow Food Chicago Summer Vegetarian Harvest Dinner
Please join us at Uncommon Ground Edgewater on Wednesday, August 28th at 6pm, as we celebrate the bounty of the "1st certified organic roof top farm in the country".  

Slow Food, first and foremost, is an idea.

It is the notion that our environment, culture and economy are profoundly affected by what we choose to eat. We believe that everyone should have access to high-quality food produced in a sustainable and equitable way.

Slow Food first began as a small Italian association in 1986. Led by Carlo Petrini, Slow Food was created as a grassroots response to the increasing industrialization of food and standardization of taste. Carlo recognized that with the rise of fast food, thousands of food varieties and food traditions were disappearing, and that people were losing the connection between the plate and the planet.

To counter the fast food trend, Slow Food promotes alternatives to industrial food and farming, raises awareness of how our food impacts the environment, and supports the workers who produce our food.
