Slow Food Austin Grub Trivia

Slow Food Austin Challenges Austinites to Test Their Foodie Know-How to Raise Money for the Good, Clean, Fair, Food Movement

Mark your calendars and make room in your bellies! Join Slow Food Austin for its annual event – the first Slow Food Austin Grub Trivia. Test your culinary chops and nom nom knowledge; enjoy a “grub crawl” of tastings from more than 20 of Austin’s finest restaurants and artisans; find some local brews, wines, and spirits on the bar menu where drinks will be happy hour-priced; win raffle prizes from local favorites; and watch a raucous halftime show with a hog butchering demo by Salt & Time Butchershop & Salumeria and a live auction of the cuts.

Tasting vendors include:

Trace, Eden East, Benji’s Cantina, Lick, Easy Tiger, The Bonneville, Epicerie, Antonelli’s Cheese Shop, Say laV, Pate Letelier, Noble Sandwich Co., Flour Bakery, Amity Bakery, Confituras, Blackbird Bakery, Max’s Wine Dive, Bootleg Coffee, Zhi Tea, Pogue Mahone Pickles, Princess & Moose’s Sister Bakery and The Red Wattle.

We’ll also present our inaugural Snailblazer Award to a member of our food community who has made a significant impact for the cause of “Good, Clean, and Fair Food.”

So, if you think you’re the quickest slow foodie in town, put your money where your mouth is and compete in this ultimate pub-style, food-focused trivia match against up to 30 teams to win the surprise grand prize and the title of the 2013 Slow Food Austin Grub Trivia Champions.
