Now come peanuts, and popcorn, and plenty of treats from day two of the Summer Fancy Food Show 2013! There were scorpions.
We started out the day on the second floor, bright and early, with this staring us in the face.
Fifty Shades of Kale? Not for me, although kale does strike me as a rather punish-y vegetable.
The lower floor was definitely more energetic and buzzing, though that could have also been due to sofi excitement and the groove of the show once everyone had their affairs in order. We started the day with pizza...
And more killer packaging. What?! I'm a sucker for handwritten labels and pretty jars.
It was definitely more slanted toward items I gravitate toward- shredded pork tacos from Frontera were a welcome respite amidst the sea of chocolate and ice cream.
Not that I'm complaining about ice cream, of course. After months of Facebook friendery with the good folks at High Road, we finally met in person and I was promptly given approximately twelve hundred bites of their perfect ice cream. The creme caramel with roasted rhubarb, apples, and mint was my favorite.
Sukhi's chana masala wrap wasn't new to us, but the smile was too cute to resist.
Dave's Insanity introduced us to our new favorite friends, Fluffy and Mittens the scorpions!
We also ogled the $1,000 pasta sauce, with heirloom tomatoes, white truffles, and gold leaf, which could only taste good over butchered human flesh for such a price.
It was definitely a more upbeat day, and we brought home some incredible treats to share on the site.
This bee bar was one of the prettiest samples, from the Savannah Bee Company. It has caramelized honeycomb inside of it, but it's almost too cute to eat. The ladies are illin' for my bee bar, also. It is gorgeous.
And nothing made the Bedfellow happier than her bacon Bloody Mary, courtesy of McClure's Pickles.
Despite being at the show from 9 to 5, staying to the bitter end when all the lights shut off, we ached our way over to Sir37, an event space close to the show for Food Fête. We were so full and tired from the day that we couldn't sample as much as we'd have liked, but the party was a lot of fun and the product selection rocked.
Why, you ask?
Because HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, NEW FLAVORS OF FRUIT 2 O. Please understand that if the human body is 70% water, I'm 80% Fruit 2 O. Fruit 2 O now comes in watermelon and lemon cucumber, and I now come in 'obsession' flavor. It tastes like sweat and lust.
I am forever gauche.
Such a good show. Stay tuned for the Top 15 tomorrow!Labels: beverage, chocolate, ice cream, news
