Sunday, Day 4 of my Sonoma Showcase Weekend and Slow Food Nation Tour was devoted to a day at Slow Food Nation in San Francisco at the Fort Mason Center. My intrepid tour guide and rock star cheesemaker friend Sheana Davis drove us into the city around 8:00 am to get prime parking (exit strategy in place). We met a new friend Susan Roth for early breakfast at Greens Restaurant -- they made me a truly de
licious and real Chai tea that hit that early morning hankering for me.
We sauntered in to the Slow Food Nation staging area in the beautiful Fort Mason on the Marina. Slow Food Nation is meant to the birth of a broad and inclusive food movement to build an American system that is sustainable, just and delicious.
Sheana's cheese Delice de la Vallee was on showcase in the Cheese section of the event among 60 other artisanal fromage varieties. Sheana, with the help of Susan, offered 5000 samples of her cheese to people walking through the cheese section. Excited delights of 'Yum!" and "Wow, what is that goodness?!"
Sheana's friends from Cheese School of San Francisco stopped by and the picture below is by far my favorite: the baby, eating cheese and looking as happy as a mini clam. So cute!
