Professor and writer Kevin Wehr will be teaming up with The Sacramento Institute of Fun at Revolution Wines to ask an important question: “Are we really what we eat?” This discussion will be centered on fast food, slow food and how it all relates to American popular culture. Learn more about popular culture today and the roles our food plays in it!

Update 4/17/09: We may be in hard times, but we at the Institute still believe that good food, good times and good learning are important. That’s why we’ve reduced our ticket prices for this event by $10 across the board! So come on out and have a good time and meet new people. Hope to see you there.
