Slow Food Miami Leader Donna Reno surprised Michael and the MGFD team in September 2010 with the chapter’s first-ever Slow Food Snail of Approval.
A program created by the New York chapter, the Snail is not unlike the Good Housekeeping Seal in that it certifies restaurants, bars, food and beverage artisans, and stores and markets as genuine contributors to the quality, authenticity and sustainability of a city’s food supply.
We are very proud to be the first in South Florida to wear this badge of honor and look forward to welcoming other restaurants into the fold. They even call our references to see if we check out, as they should! It’s a much needed program, especially for interested consumers, to ensure that those establishments taking a big local game back it up in practice. It’s not easy being green, but that’s kind of the point, right?
