practically duplicating my slowfoodstl.org post…
It was a long day of oppressive heat and ferocious winds that have left me too drained to really comment at the moment, but in the end the food was great, the hospitality was incredible, and we all walked away convinced that the Hillebrand’s live on one of the most beautiful places on earth.
So a personal thanks to Barb and Dave Hillebrand and their family, chef Tim Grandinetti for helping out once again, and all the chefs he enlisted including Lou Rook III, Dave Owens, Margaret Kelly, Kevin Nashan, Christy Augustine, and all their staff that tagged along to sweat in Grandma Hillebrand’s garage.
I took over 500 pictures (of questionable quality) so I had to put them on my own site rather than Slow Foods, but they are now uploaded for your viewing pleasure.
From the mountains of Panama and Ethiopia, to the urban-jungles of Portland and Chicago, journalist Michaele Weissman takes us behind the scenes for a look at the world of third-wave specialty coffee. How did we get to Starbucks, and where we go from here?

What an amazing event! And the Hildebrands were excellent hosts. And the works of the Chef’s, I’m still raving about the one dish with the poached egg!
