  • Slow Food Nations Festival

    Slow Food Nations Festival

     

    This July, Patrick and Bobbin visited Denver, Colorado for Slow Food Nations, a festival to taste and explore a world of good, clean and fair food for all. The festival combined the energy of a street food festival, the rigor of an academic conference, and the inspiration of a cultural exchange. With dozens of interactive workshops, delicious tastings, local tours, educational talks, and plenty of meals and parties. Slow Food Nations connected farmers and families, leaders and eaters to share their stories and shape the future of food.

    Patrick participated in a “Hot Topics” panel discussion about “Getting Political In The Kitchen” where he and other chefs joined the Beard Foundation’s Mitchell Davis and Katherine Miller to speak on the best practices for getting involved in even the most contentious issues.

    Sacramento’s #goodfood100 Representative

    Good food is good for every link in the food chain:  the environment, plants & animals, producers, purveyors, restaurants (including workers), and eaters. As a national proponent of local fare and a restaurant that chooses to work with farmers, ranchers, and winemakers who tread lightly upon the earth,  Mulvaney’s B&L has been selected as Sacramento’s #goodfood100 representative.

    What is theThe Good Food 100 Restaurants?

    The Good Food 100 Restaurants™ is a NEW, annual survey and list of U.S. restaurants designed to educate eaters and celebrate restaurants – fast casual to fine dining to food service – for being transparent with their purchasing practices. Good Food 100 Restaurants™ list and ratings are based on percentage of total food purchases ($) spent to support local/state, regional and national Good Food producers and purveyors vs. same category restaurants in the same region.

    more than just your fave foodie capital

    Sacramento, long thought of as a sleepy capital lacking the luster of Los Angeles or San Francisco, is emerging from the shadows in the Golden State.

    You shouldn’t be surprised then, at how great Sacramento’s restaurants are. If you close your eyes and chow down you could be fooled into thinking you’re in San Francisco. Menus contain words like fresh, local, seasonal, sustainable and artisan. Take, for example, Mulvaney’s B&L. The menu here rotates daily based on the offerings at local farms. Hand-crafted New American is the house specialty. Expect to be wowed when you see some of biggest, freshest looking chunks of salmon or pig roasting on a giant grill, where you can eat surrounded by a lovely garden.
