Party goers and chefs celebrated the first exhibit of The Museum of Food and Drink: “BOOM! The Puffing Gun and the Rise of Breakfast Cereal,” last night in Carroll Gardens.

The exhibit displayed a cereal puffing gun — essentially a canon that applies high pressure to grains of rice and shoots them out as a piece of cereal. It will be on display again on Foley Square this Saturday, August 17th, from 7 am to 1pm, as part of the Summer Streets Festival.
