I recently read a book by Rod Dreher that piqued my interest in Slow Food. The Slow Food movement encourages people to slow down, savor every bite, and make the connection between where your food originates and how it arrives on your table.
Turns out the Slow Food movement is building momentum here in the Milwaukee area.
Check out this recent article in the Shepherd Express and stay tuned for a related posting on Taste of the Town.
Rod's book is "Crunchy Conservatives" (with a long subtitle), and it was discussed chpater by chapter at the National Review Online in its own blog:

The chapter on food is in the archives.
Here is the book at Amazon:
