At the Museum of Science & Industry's Black Creativity gala January 27, no guest left hungry. The event's bevvy of buffet stations, provided by Sodexo, held Brazilian meats, spicy Moroccan foods, cotton candy, and more—but the salt-and-pepper station turned into a main attraction.
Stationed near the salad buffet, the table held hanging terrariums filled with colored salts such as red chili, pink Hawaiian, smoke, rosemary, and wild garlic. The flavors were spelled out on smooth river rocks placed in front of each hanging vessel. On the other side of table, a row of grinders held pink, green, white, and black pepper.
