Slow Food's Potrero Hill Potluck a Crunchy Alternative to Civic Center
Okay, so maybe you're thinking Slow Food's big Labor Day potluck in Civic Center sounds too urban. Well, a small-scale, altogether crunchier Eat-In is going down the same day on Petrero Hill. Up to 70 attendees are expected for a communal meal in the permaculture demo garden at 18th St. and Rhode Island, Monday, September 7, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.![]()

"Be prepared to sit in a garden, bring your own plate and silverware, bring some food to share, just show up," said David Cody, manager at the garden and the Eat-In's organizer. Cody said he expects what he called "general festivities," including the chance to do some actual harvesting and planting in the garden.
The Potrero Eat-In is expected to be one of more than 230 national potlucks on Labor Day, organized by local Slow Food chapters. The events are part of Slow Food USA's Time for Lunch campaign focusing on improving food in public schools.
