Read MoreSecond Annual Holiday Happy Hour!
Happy holidays! We had so much fun at our happy hour last December that we decided to repeat it this year. Please join us for Slow Food Cincinnati’s Second Annual Holiday Happy Hour on Thursday, December 13th from 5:30 – 7:30pm at The Bar at Palm Court!
What better way to celebrate the holidays than with Slow Food appetizers from Chef Todd Kelly! The accolades for Chef Kelly and Orchids restaurant are too long to list, but needless to say, we are in for a treat. We don’t have the details of the menu yet, but Chef Kelly has agreed to feature foods from Slow Food’s Ark of Taste (hopefully including Dean Family Farm’s Red Wattle Pork, if available) and Slow Food Cincinnati will provide some of these appetizers for you to try. The Bar at Palm Court will also have other wonderful half-price appetizers and drink specials until 7:00pm!
The Slow Food Ark of Taste is a catalog of over 200 delicious foods in danger of extinction. By promoting and eating Ark products we help ensure they remain in production and on our plates.
The Bar at Palm Court, it is an award-winning bar located in the historic Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza in downtown Cincinnati. The Hilton hotel has beautiful 1930s French art deco features and will also be decorated to the hilt for the holidays!
We can’t think of a better way to spend a holiday evening. Hope to see many of you there!

May 9, 2013 at 11:05 pm Have you heard of Cochon 555, the traveling road show that typically brings together 5 chefs, 5 heritage pigs, and 5 wineries? Sounds like our friends in Louisville are working on making their city a participant. I'd love to see a Cochon 555 in Cincinnati, since we are, of course, Porkopolis. I'm taking a Louisville stop as a good sign that Cochon is willing to expand to smaller cities in the middle of the county!

May 5, 2013 at 1:49 am Great news! You can now get your very own Sheltowee Farm mushrooms in Cincinnati at Mt. Adams Farmers Market! Mushroom farmer Billy Edward Webb (aka the Fun-Guy) supplies to some of our city's top restaurants. You can also meet him in person at Slow Food Cincinnati's Meet-the-Farmers Dinner at Bouquet June 5 at Bouquet Restaurant & Wine Bar in Covington! https://www.facebook.com/events/462888037115466/
Mt. Adams Farmers' Market
Yesterday I had the privilege of meeting Billy Webb.
Billy owns Sheltowee Farm, a 200-acre mushroom farm located in Salt Lick, Kentucky. He began cultivating shitake and oyster mushrooms on his property in 2001.
The demand for his mushrooms was so high among regional chefs, restaurants, caterers and retail consumers that he knew they had to construct a building to sustain consistent year-round production. Now in his new building, he can provide local, fresh mushrooms 365 days a year!
Today Billy grows about 1,000 pounds of oyster and shitake mushrooms every month and delivers his organic product to over 80 restaurants and retail outlets. Most of the restaurants are in or near Lexington but some are as far away as Atlanta. In Cincinnati, he delivers to Local 127, Jean Robert's Table, Orchids and Palm Court. You can also find his mushroom at Whole Foods.
And now, all you have to do is visit our market for his incredible mushrooms.
He gifted me some mushrooms and I hurried home to make the most delicious risotto that I have ever tasted. And, now I'm making a mushroom soup. Then, I'm dehydrating the stems to keep for the winter months!
Please welcome Sheltowee Farm and Billy Webb to the Mt. Adams Farmers' Market!
