Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world. To do that, Slow Food brings together pleasure and responsibility, and makes them inseparable.

But I’ve had trouble finding people around my age in this city who like to make this a part of their daily life AND are looking for friends that are interested in the same. This is a group for those who want to explore all forms of food the DC area has to offer (restaurants, specialty stores, etc.), cook and bake for others, and meet new people in their 20s and early 30s who want to do the same. We c …

We love good food and drink. We also love to try new restaurants in and around our Nation's capital and experience different cuisine.

Our meetup group was created to combine two of our favorite things, food and photography. The purpose of the group is to offer photographers the chance to photograph food at local restaurants. After the workshop, we will enjoy a great meal while sharing our photo's with the group. This is also the perfect opportunity for Q&A. If you love photography as much as food, this is a group to join as well!
