On 9/22, Range and her sister restaurant counterparts, participated in Slow Food’s annual fundraiser Art of Food which celebrates restaurants and local businesses which serve and use local products and proteins.

Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic, member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions, and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes, and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.

The menu featured all four meals of the day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert–representing all four restaurants) which all featured different parts of pork that was taken from the same whole hog. We served: breakfast veggie and sausage strata [Rooster], a pork steak and Emmenthaler sandwich with chimichurri [Bridge], pork belly over a spicy polenta cake [Range], and salted caramel ice cream with candied bacon.
