Description

Join us for Feast on Reel Food: The Final Meal, a celebration of our multi-day Festivals. We couldn't have held eight Festivals and many other events without your support. This event is our way of thanking our community and coming together. Enjoy: Bites of Italian food from top Boulder restaurants Basta, Big Red F Group, Farrow and gluten-free pasta business Capello's and something sweet from Bread and BaklavaA screening of The Truffle Hunters, a documentary that follows a handful of Italians who have made truffle hunting with their cherished dogs a lifelong passionDiscussion with truffle experts Frasca Food and Wine Culinary Director Eduardo Valle Lobo and legendary Boulder chef and restaurateur Antonio Laudisio. Farewell does not mean a permanent goodbye. We intend to keep exploring food culture through films, events, and speakers but periodically and on a smaller scale. The proceeds of this event and any donations will go towards sustaining the Festival organization so that it can do so. Event donors include Local Table Tours, the George Lichter Family Fund, Pastificio Boulder, photographer David Harwi, R Gallery + Wine Bar, ROOT Marketing & PR, and Savory Spice Shop. This project is funded in part by a grant from the Boulder Arts Commission, an agency of the Boulder City Council.
