The Good Fork participated in a nationwide celebration of the book launch of Slow, Life in a Tuscan Town by filmmaker Douglas Gayaton, with similarly-structured tasting menus occurring simultaneously at over thirty restaurants throughout the US and Canada.

"Douglas Gayeton invites us to the fields, barns, butcher shops, and dinner tables where he learned to live and eat in the Tuscan countryside. Inspired by pre-Renaissance narrative paintings, the filmmaker stitched together dozens of evocative, large-format sepia photographs capturing scenes of daily rural life in Pistoia. He then etched them with marginalia and centuries-old Tuscan proverbs pronounced proudly by his friends and neighbors . . . His sumptuous chronicle leaves us hungry for more." --Travel and Leisure
