Jerry Kays Journal

I find myself drawn to small…beautiful…elegant…accessible…inspiring places whether a museum…a music venue…a park. One of my favorite places which fits this criteria is the Museo Italo at San Francisco's Fort Mason. That is where I met Renato Sardo…his lecture was entitled…Piemonte the land of slow food. Renato was executive director for Slow Food International from 1999 to 2006…the slow food movement really began in Renatos’s hometown of Bra, Italy. Renato told me the focus of slow food international promote and defend real local food all over the world from industrialization. These days Renato is translating the slow food principles into reality via a company he founded…called Baia Pasta.
