Treats and Trends at Fancy Food Show in San Francisco
By: Jan Wichayanuparp | Phoenix New Times
Imagine a lavish spread of drinks, pates, cheeses, chocolate and confections sprawling over an area the size of three football fields, and you will get an approximation of what it’s like to be at the 35th Winter Fancy Food Show, held last week in San Francisco’s Moscone Center.
Billed as the largest marketplace for specialty food and beverages on the West Coast, this industry trade show is not only an opportunity for checking out new trends in the market — it’s a golden ticket for unlimited noshing.
With more than 1,300 exhibitors pushing free samples, Fancy Food is Disneyland for foodies.
Among the thousands of exhibitors from over 30 countries, it was good to see Arizona admirably represented by Fairy Tale Brownies, Arizona Gunslinger Hot Sauce, Green Valley Pecan Company, and others.
