SFA Events March 28-29: High Museum Wine Auction featuring a Cork and Pork Seminar (with poet Kevin Young) and a grand dinner with, among others, Mike Lata and Kathyrn King. April 7: Jews and Blues dinner, a fundraiser featuring a Southern Jewish dinner and folk music to benefit the Southern Foodways Alliance at Zingerman's Roadhouse in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Guest speakers are Marcie and Bill Ferris, with music by Alex Johnson. May 23-25: Camp Chicago, an examination of what happens when Southern culture (and Southern cookery) decamps for the North. Expect blues. Expect barbecue. Expect to ride the El and hang at West Town Tavern and the Hideout. May 29-June 1: Franklin Food and Spirits Festival. Staged -- in Tennessee -- by our friends at Jim 'N Nick's, this first time event is taking shape rapidly. Like the High Museum event as well as the Blackberry Farm event, the SFA is consulting on content but not running the show. June 7-8 Big Apple Barbecue Block Party. Eat cue on the streets of NYC. Watch a Joe York film about mutton: www.bigapplebbq.org July 11-13: Louisville: Blue Grass and Brown Whiskey. We'll pay homage to Kentucky farmers, fry fish in Germantown, learn to play the game of dainty, and cook from the Blue Grass Cookbook. September 10: Viking Range Lecture at the University of Mississippi. Featuring Bich Nguyen, author of Stealing Buddha's Dinner, and Monique Truong, author of the Book of Salt. Free admission. Overby Center. October 22-23: Delta Divertissement, Greenwood, Mississippi. Our annual debauch in the Delta is the ever popular prequel to the symposium. Our H.Q. is the Alluvian Hotel; our intent is experiential learning. October 23-26: 11th Southern Foodways Symposium, Oxford, Mississippi. Our focus this year is "drinkways." We'll start with water; move on through iced tea, buttermilk, and beer; and, of course, talk of (and sample) wine and whiskey. 2009 Events January 8-11: Taste of the South SFA benefit, and the annual gathering of the Fellowship of Southern Farmers, Artisans, and Chefs at Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee, in the Foothills of the Great Smokies. New for 2009 are reduced SFA rates on lodging. | posted by John T Edge |
Tabasco and SFA Team to Raise NOLA Awareness The Southern Foodways Alliance is teaming with Tabasco sauce, Louisiana's culinary native son, to raise awareness of the resurgence of the New Orleans food scene and encourage Americans to come back and support one of America's most unique culinary meccas. In a series of special events in select cities across 2006, this team of southern culinary institutions will showcase some of the most interesting and unusual foods born of Cajun and Creole cultures at open-to-the public tastings and hands-on demonstrations.
