When I moved back to Austin in 2001, I attended my first Slow Food meeting. Not much came of it. I felt the desire to be a part an organization that I believed in, but the events, for me, were more labor than love. I couldn’t quite see the value in the dues. Fast forward to 2009. Much has changed in the Austin food scene and Slow Food seems to have gotten a second life. I have gone from “why should I join?” to “I can’t believe I missed that event!”.
