Slow Food Tulsa, Oklahoma's first Slow Food Convivium, was founded in 2003 by the following members:

• Rebecca Bryant, Convivium Leader, Council Creek Cheese & Cuisine
• Robert Merrifield, The Polo Grill
• Richard Clark, The French Hen
• Chris and Natalie Large, Grand Vin 

Membership is growing as additional members continue to join, and our collective goal is to support the mission and guiding values of Slow Food U.S.A.  This is a grass roots organization dedicated to sustainability and biodiversity through promotion of seasonal and local foods and the support of those who produce them. 

Slow Food Tulsa conducts educational events and public outreach in an effort to educate the general public on the importance of preserving our regional and local food traditions, supporting local farmers and producers, and encouraging consumption of quality artisanal foods. 

Enjoyment and quality of life can be greatly enhanced by slowing down, respecting our culinary traditions , and enjoying a convivial meal with friends and family!
