Slow Foodies at Play
Slow down, you move too fast. There's still plenty of time to make reservations for Slow Food Nashville's annual Fall Equinox Dinner at Margot Cafe.
Actually, you might want to get on the stick to reserve a seat for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30, when Margot will host the dinner featuring pork belly from DW Farms, Falls Mill grits with delicata squash, and lots of braised greens. Items from Eaton's Creek and Long Hungry Creek Farms will also be on the menu. If the weather cooperates, the langourous feast will be outdoors in Margot's parking-lot-turned-Provençal-streetscape. Price is $40, excluding tax, tip and wine. Call 227-4668 for reservations.

Grits with squash? Hmmm. Two things I love, but I'm not sure I'd love them together. Of course, that's what I said about the comedy team of Chuck Norris and Lou Gossett Jr. in Firewalker.

Thankfully Delvin Farms can irrigate. Hopefully they are upstream from :

i hate to say this
but
i had one of the worst dinners of my nashville experience at the spring version of this dinner at margot's. the food was overall - bad. surprisingly bad. although the whole sitting in the parking lot on a perfect night was kinda nice!
but that was then and this is a new season and well, it's hard to fuck up pork belly...
go slow food!
