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.
You can read more about MOFAD, which says that it is searching for a permanent home in Brooklyn, here.
Join Marlow & Sons on Sunday, August 11th at the parking lot across the street

On May 30, 2013, a devastating fire destroyed the barn that housed all of CPO’s cleaning and packaging equipment and a considerable amount of inventory. The Marlow team is raising funds so Cayuga Pure Organics can rebuild.

In an informal, salon-style setting, participants of this lecture will be able to probe the science, psychology, and social norms that shape the food choices we make—choices that have grown more complex than at any other time in our species’ evolution. Experts will lead each session, with participants encouraged to bring in their questions, shopping lists, myths, and opinions about food and health, longevity, and taste, and come away with decisive understanding about the food we eat.
Drew Ramsey, MD, of Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons and Amy Bentley, Ph.D. of the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health at NYU discuss the societal and health implications of our food choices.
