This month, we are trying something new.
We are participating in the Joyful Dinner Series (https://slowfoodusa.org/joyfuldinner/) by Slow Food USA in support of the movement for good, clean, and fair food for all.
Bubbles & Bites
Wednesday, June 24th
5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Join us for an evening of tapas-style dishes paired with a few different sparkling wines. We'll come together as neighbors, swap stories, and celebrate the people and places that nourish our community.
This simple, bite-sized event is perfect for folks who have never tried the plimoth before and want to see what we're all about.
Huge thank you to our local chapter, Slow Food Denver (https://www.slowfooddenver.org) , for all your help organizing and promoting these events here in town.
Space is limited and reservations can be made by PHONE ONLY.
Our hosts will confirm the number of guests in your party and any allergies or dietary restrictions so we can ensure everyone can enjoy our bites.
Give us a call at 303-297-1215.
Tickets $50 per person (not including tax and gratuity) and non-refundable.
There will be non-alcoholic options as well as cocktails, beer, and other wines available for purchase for those not interested in bubbles.
Unable to join us but love the idea of slow food?
Join us another night for a full dinner Wednesdays-Saturdays 5pm-9pm.
Here's some food for thought:
We can all do more to be intentional about how we source ingredients and value the hard work of the hands that feed us. But it's okay to start small. Every bit counts.
RIP Carlo Petrini
On a sad note, the founder of the global slow food movement Carlo Petrini recently died. His vision helped transform the way millions of people think about food, farming, and community.
Originally from the Piedmont region in Italy, Petrini was also admirably humble. He made a name for himself protesting the arrival of McDonald’s with bowls of pasta. What an absolute legend.
His activism started in Asti when he learned that local farmers were growing tulips for the Netherlands rather than their signature peppers according to his Washington Post obituary (https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2026/06/06/carlo-petrini-who-launched-slow-food-movement-dies-76/) .
In later years, he was concerned with how society fetishized food, arguing in the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/feb/04/slow-food-carlo-petrini) back in 2009: "We must normalise food rather than put it on a pedestal far out of reach." If anything, social media has intensified this disconnect.
Ages ago when he was in Italy, our very own chef pete tried the McDonalds in Asti and can confirm it's as mediocre in Italy as it is anywhere in the world.
But maybe that's the appeal of fast food? Either way, we'll choose slower to go farther any day.
