The theme of the World of Food Pavilion is "Garden
to Gourmet"
Exterior The three and a half story pavilion is
located at the main entrance to the Fair. The sparkling white
exterior will be decorated with colorful mosaic panels. The landscaping
will be highlighted by rare fruit trees and spice plants.
Interior
The first floor and the first floor mezzanine will feature
food exhibits, kitchen exhibits (the RCA Whirlpool "Miracle
Kitchen" - the electronic ultimate in the push-button field
aimed to reduce kitchen work to a minimum), and Adolph's International
Steak House seating 500 persons. There will also be a replica
of Hershey Town of Pennsylvania.
In the "Americana Area", the
American Sugar Refining Co. will tell the story of sugar as a
quick-energy food and a food for fun and good taste. Miller Brewing
Co. will trace the history of beer from early Americana (home
brewing) to the use of beer in recipes. There will be a new England
fishing village replica with a "foods afloat" section
in which the sea's products will be displayed along with a model
houseboat which will feature the latest contributions in nautical
gallery equipment. |
A teen center will be located on the first floor mezzanine.
Here the World of Food plans to feature cook-outs and guest appearances
of recording stars.
The second floor and the second floor mezzanine will have
a wine tasting bar, exhibits of foods, beverages, fruits and
seafood. There will be a supermarket which will display exhibitors'
products. In this market, there will be a booth where the woman
of the house can press buttons and receive menu suggestions for
any meal. Actual sales will be made by using completely new electronic
merchandising display and selection techniques. The purchases
will be delivered electrically to the check-out counter. Other
assigned areas will feature unusual frozen foods (instant heat
and eat), a gourmet shop managed by Hickory Farms of Ohio, and
an International Brauhaus and Biergarten.
On the third floor there will be a canteen, delicatessen,
health and diet exhibits.
The roof terrace will feature a fully
equipped auditorium (TV, radio) and exhibits of outdoor camping
and picnicking. There will be an "edible garden" where
foods will be growing, fostered by louvered panels which will
be synchronized with the sun to approximate a tropical climate
for the foods that will grow only under these conditions. |
Numerous special events: demonstrations and seminars on
food, its uses, and food products of the future will be held
daily under the direction of the World of Food Editorial Advisory
Board.
