Montlake Community Center

Slow Food members and friends are invited to our 2019 Annual Meeting and Potluck on Sunday, November 3rd at the Montlake Community Center. This year our featured guest speaker is local fisherman and Slow Food Snailblazer Kevin Scribner.


4:00 Potluck Begins

November is Thank a Farmer Month so we encourage everyone to bring a dish featuring local produce and ingredients. Consider bringing a tag with a short description or story about your meal.

Slow Food Seattle is serving up Makah Ozette potatoes that our green-thumbed Presidium Coordinator Gerry Warren grew especially for the occasion. Our Advisory Council’s Chef Varin Keokitvon is bringing Kaipen Lao Crispy River Weed, inspired by an Ark of Taste item he discovered in Laos this summer.

To reduce our carbon footprint, please bring your own non-disposable plate, cup, utensils and napkin. Our goal this year is to reduce waste at our gatherings and we truly appreciate your support!
