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.
We’ll also present our inaugural Snailblazer Award to a member of our food community who has made a significant impact for the cause of “Good, Clean, and Fair Food.”
So, if you think you’re the quickest slow foodie in town, put your money where your mouth is and compete in this ultimate pub-style, food-focused trivia match against up to 30 teams to win the surprise grand prize and the title of the 2013 Slow Food Austin Grub Trivia Champions.
