The Pickle and Chutney booth at Slow Food Nation, was one of my favorite stops in the Taste Pavilion. A highlight, beyond the pickled eggplant and kombucha, was Bay Area-based photographer Terri Loewenthal's Pickle Barrel Photo Booth. Her unmanned/unsupervised photo-booth enabled visitors to momentarily become part of the exhibit, an unique experience among the pavilions.

Each section of the Taste Pavilion was designed by a different architect. The Pickle and Chutney area was designed by Sagan Piechota Architects and featured canning lids hanging from the ceiling, racks of canning jars and pickling instructions in fun cartoon form lining the base of the booth.
