Slow Burn exists in the tension of their ideas and talents ranging from biodynamic farming, food preservation and fine dining.
Offering broad experiences from casual concepts to 18-course tasting menus, these nomadic restaurateurs can be found making use of their long term misos, vinegars, charcuterie and much more from California to Canada in various venues in the name of lessening food waste in delicious and exciting ways.
Slow Burn will be taking over Clif Family Winery for two days in May, offering a blind chef’s tasting menu of 10-12 courses featuring the best of Clif Family Farm paired with their rotating larder. Wine and Non Alcoholic beverage options will be available for purchase on the evening of the event should you choose to amplify your experience
