Dear members and friends of Slow
Food Philadelphia,
Farmers would love it if chefs
would buy the entire animal (as opposed to the
same old “prime cuts”) and put all
the various parts to great culinary use. Fergus
Henderson, the English star chef, certainly
agrees with the farmers’ wish. His delightful
The Whole Beast. Nose to Tail Eating
makes for delectable reading. In David Ansill,
owner of Pif (1009 S. 8th Street) and
the newly opened and delicious Ansill
(Bainbridge and 3rd Street), Philadelphia has
a chef that shares this philosophy and so it
is with great excitement that Slow Philadelphia
invites its most adventurous members for just
such a “Head to Toe” dinner
at Pif on Sunday, March 26, 6:30 p.m.
I want to thank Tom Sherman who organized this
fabulous menu with the chefs of Pif, Dave Kane
and David. Please read the full menu below.
Other Slow Food events in the coming weeks include
a talk about the farm Cooperative Kallari in
the Ecuadorian Amazon (Slow Food supports their
efforts to produce chocolate), a Pasta evening
at Penne (with Roberta Adamo), Cheese
and Chocolate at DiBruno Brothers,
a spring farm dinner at restaurant Alba, and
a members barbecue at Yards brewery.
Since seating is limited at Pif,
please let me know right away if you are interested
in the “Nose to Tail” dinner. I
look forward to see you there.
