About The Event

The 2026 Snail of Approval Awards recognizes chefs, producers, farmers, and food and beverage businesses in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia who embody Slow Food’s values of good, clean, and fair food for all. Our grassroots award celebrates those who care for the environment, support local communities, and create food with integrity and purpose. Join Slow Food DC for an evening of recognition, community, and seriously good (local) food as we honor this year’s Snail of Approval awardees!

  • Access to the Slow Food silent auction, which includes donations from amazing local businesses across the DMV
