Slow FoodApril 2nd, 2010 Produced by Monica Rogozinski The members of the Philadelphia chapter come from a wide variety of professions and backgrounds. Slow Food Philadelphia organizes farm visits, tastings, lectures, and dinners where participants can learn about the farmers and artisans who grow, produce, and prepare our food. The chapter also supports initiatives that improve nutrition in schools, such as school gardens and policies to increase the quality of school lunches. Art of Food will feature Hansjakob Werlen, head of the Philadelphia Slow Food Chapter. He'll take us to Restaurant Alba and talk about the history of the movement, its goals and plans for the future. At Alba we'll also talk to its owners, the husband and wife team of Sean and Kelly Weinberg. They're involved in every aspect of the restaurant. Sean's contemporary cuisine focuses on seasonal local ingredients. Dishes are simply prepared and cooked over a state-of-the-art wood-burning grill. This allows the true flavors of the food to stand out while being enhanced by a live hickory and mesquite wood fire, a concept found throughout the countryside of Europe. We'll also visit Green Aisle Grocery and take a look at their variety of specialty products, all locally produced. More Information
