Undoubtedly the most anticipated part of
Slow Food Nation were the
15 taste pavilions. The themed tents, curated by field experts and designed by renowned architects, offered samplings of regional American foods. Last week I showed you
some snapshots from the event; here are nine more appetizing moments.
On hand at this weekend's
Slow Food Nation was
Momofuku chef David Chang, whose self-described "vaguely Asian" New York restaurants have catapulted him to celebrity status in the past several years. In a guest appearance at the festival's Green Kitchen, Chang showed the audience Momofuku's twist on caprese salad. As he was prepping for his demonstration, he was kind enough to talk to me about
slow food, fast food (Chipotle and In-N-Out are his favorites), future plans, and his latest infatuation.

sausage, egg, and arugula pizza made me want to jump into my screen!
