Mark your calendars and make room in your bellies! Join Slow Food Austin for its annual event – the first Slow Food Austin Grub Trivia. Test your culinary chops and nom nom knowledge; enjoy a “grub crawl” of tastings from more than a dozen of Austin’s finest restaurants; find some local brews, wines, and spirits on the bar menu where drinks will be happy hour-priced; win raffle prizes from local favorites and artisans; and watch a raucous halftime show with a hog butchering demo and live auction of the cuts.
