The Eatsdropper feels very unsatisfied
A day (okay, a few weeks) late and a dollar short, but I do have a handful of overheards from Slow Food Nation, back over Labor Day Weekend. I myself was not in attendance. I was too tired from processing and canning 100 pounds of tomatoes. I figured I kissed the local and sustainable ring already. I've still got more in the hopper, but please keep some tidbits coming to eatsdropper-at-seantimberlake-dot-com or on Twitter to @Hedonia. Abbraccioni!

Stephanie (volunteer): "Yes, it is."
SFN "paying guest":"Well, I have to tell you, I think that's just LOUSY! We already HADthis [product]. You shouldn't serve a [product] in line that you areserving here. It's just a colossal disappointment."
Stephanie:"You know it's really interesting to hear you say that. Just an hourago, we got a complaint because we ran through the [product] beingserved in line and had already moved on to the next one. I guess wejust can't win today!"

A father, trailing his wife and two young children toward the Taste Pavilion exit at the end of the night:
"I don't feel like I ate dinner. I just don't. I feel very unsatisfied."

Me: "This is a blue cheese is from Texas. If you're not careful, it will probably clear brush on a moment's notice! "
SFN "paying guest" to friend: "She's happy. I like her jokes."
