Slow Food: Marika Josephson and Jason Hammel with Louisa Chu

The birth of the slow food movement can be traced back 30 years, to a pivotal rally against a proposed McDonald’s at the foot of Rome’s Spanish Steps. Alongside their chants, protesters served bowls of homemade pasta, and since then, foodies around the world have been dishing up meals that reflect local crops and culinary traditions. Jason Hammel of Chicago’s famous Lula Café, a local pioneer for localvore and slow food, and Marika Josephson of Scratch Brewing Company will discuss the evolution of this movement in Chicago and beyond. Louisa Chu is the moderator for this program.
