Last month, right before
Slow Food Nation, PartySugar helped harvest the newly planted
Victory Gardens in downtown San Francisco. Apparently the success of the public garden was so strong that various groups are taking the matter to the White House — both metaphorically and literally.
Several organizations are campaigning for the next president to create a garden on the White House lawn.

I learned a great deal during my experience at
Slow Food Nation — not just about sustainable eating, but also all about gourmet food in general, from rice to coffee. To share all my foodie facts with you, I've put together a fun quiz. How much might you learn?

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.

One of the main events of last weekend's
Slow Food Nation was the Marketplace, a farmers market where the public could buy produce directly from producers. Farmers from 30 different counties in California were on-hand to sell everything from mushrooms to vinegar. Check out some of my favorite moments here.
