Nick & Toni's

Nick & Toni’s in conjunction with Slow Food, Zagat and Welcome Books, will host a Slow Food dinner and book launch on Wednesday, November 18th beginning at 6:30 p.m. A copy the book, Slow: Life in a Tuscan Town, will be included with the dinner. The cost of the dinner is $95 per person.

The purpose of this e...vening is to celebrate the eating of delicious local food, the farmers who grow this food, the chefs who serve this food, and the organizations who help make it available. The reason this "special dinner" celebrates SLOW: LIFE IN A TUSCAN TOWN is because this book is brilliant—brilliantly written, photographed, designed and produced. Although the story is about a town in Italy, it is being published as America considers how delicious it is when the vegetables are just out of the garden, fruit is right off the branch, and fish are straight from the sea. It is also the story of a man who changed the focus of his life as the result of his experience. Still a documentarian, a photographer, and a technology guru, he is also a father, a husband, and a man with a growing devotion to sustainability.
