Peter and Irene are empty nesters looking to celebrate their big anniversary with a nice night out, but Stephen, their server, has other ideas. SLOW FOOD is a hilarious comedy that asks what do we want from life when what we need is something (anything!!) to eat. 

“[SLOW FOOD] generates plenty of laughs from a conflict that most of us have experienced: the desperate fight to have dinner in peace.” —ArtsFuse.org
