Fancy Food Show

Guess what? I snuck out of town to San Francisco for a few days to attend the Fancy Food Show.

Unlike the All Candy Expo, this trade show is devoted to all things tasty from olive oils, honey, flavored waters, cheeses, sauces, and dressing but includes a fair amount of sweet treats. In fact, candy and chocolate is well represented on the show floor ... from high end chocolatiers like Charles Chocolates & Chuao to the fun and mass-manufactured fare from Jelly Belly & Gimbals.

So, I'll be bringing you my notes and impressions from the show floor through Tuesday when the show ends - click that logo to keep up with just the show notes. Regular reviews will continue below as usual.
