The Slow Food Snail of Approval award is a recognition given to food and beverage establishments that are pursuing and practicing Slow Food values in their business. This is more than about making good food — it’s about making commitments to the environment, local communities, employees and purveyors, and our core values of antiracism and anti-oppression.

We are honored to be recognized in March 2022 alongside farms, restaurants and other food businesses around the world for our passion and dedication. We will continue to uphold the highest standards when it comes to sourcing sustainably, protecting the environment and supporting our staff and our community. Thank you to Slow Food Boulder County and Slow Food USA for recognizing our commitment to better food systems and a world where we all can access food that is good, clean and fair!

As of January 2022 we will be implementing a 4% kitchen appreciation fee. The non-taxed fee will be applied to your bill to allow our kitchen staff to share in the restaurant’s success. We are grateful for our staff who show up every day to cook delicious food, and provide a valuable service to our community. For a long time in our industry there has been a wage disparity. This small fee supports our kitchen staffs hard work and helps to bridge the wage gap, allowing us to provide a livable wage for our team. 100% of the kitchen appreciation fee will be distributed to our cooks and dishwashers. We appreciate your support in recognizing our back of house employees’ hard work, and their commitment to quality every day, as we take steps towards making a change in our industry.

Thank you for your continued patronage and supporting 24 Carrot Bistro.
