COVID-Sniffing Dogs
Though the festival had many COVID security measures in place, the most adorable had to be the troupe of COVID-sniffing dogs. The dogs named Cobra, OneBetta, Mac, and Hubble were trained to detect the odor produced by metabolic changes in people infected with COVID. One trainer told

Though the working dogs wore harnesses asking not to be pet, they were the subject of thousands of admiring gazes and likely wound up on more Instagram photos than any Food Network celebrity chef.
