Wing-Time Buffalo Wing Sauces

February 1st, 2008 · No Comments

I like buffalo wings. I mean, I’m not a freak about them or anything, but I like the tangy sauce. Funny thing I noticed this year while we were setting up for the Fancy Food Show was that the Wing Time Buffalo Wing Sauce booth kept catching my eye.I remember them from past shows, they’ve got […]

Amy’s Kitchen - Roasted Vegetable Pizza

January 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments

OK, the Fancy Food Show hasn’t started yet, but I want to post about our new favorite pizza - the Roasted Vegetable Pizza from Amy’s Kitchen. No cheese on top of this one, but topped with shiitake mushrooms, roasted red peppers, sweet onions, and marinated artichoke hearts. And I think it’s the artichoke hearts that really put […]

Iveta Scones

September 9th, 2007 · No Comments

Scones are always hit and miss for me. Maybe some people like them dry and crumbly? Hard for me to tell, so I usually avoid them. Even my favorite muffin place doesn’t make scones to my liking. So I pretty much just relegate them to the category of “stuff other people like”. That is, until […]

The eggroll is an old idea. Really old. Strangely enough, the most interesting thing that Americans have done to try and spruce it up is the Pizza Roll. Sad but true.But then we found Soul Rolls.

ricks picks

July 25th, 2007 · 1 Comment

There’s just something about rick’s picks that makes pickles sexy. They’ve got a great brand look that just makes you think twice about passing it by. And flavors like Windy City Wasabeans (green beans in a soy-wasbi brine) or Phat Beets (pickled beets in a rosemary-scented brine) or just Slices of Life (sliced garlic dill […]

Peeled Snacks

July 19th, 2007 · No Comments

I know it’s simple: dried fruit. It’s been around forever. But then again, often when you buy dried fruit it seems like the fruit itself has been around forever. Which is why we really liked Peeled Snacks. To be honest, the chance that we would have tried a dried fruit snack in a convention hall […]

Mary Beth’s Apple Pie Company

July 17th, 2007 · 9 Comments

As always, we meet great people at the Fancy Food Shows. This year we were lucky enough to be set up next to the booth for Mary Beth’s Apple Pie Company. We ate way too many samples of their apple pie during the show, and even helped to bring a few of their left-overs to […]

Poco Dolce

July 8th, 2007 · No Comments

In the gourmet candy world, we end up tasting a lot of chocolate. Most of it is very good, very little is bad, but few are distinctive and memorable. Companies like Vosages have done a great job at distinguishing themselves, but otherwise it’s very hard to break out of the pack.
Poco Dolce is one company […]

Paromi Tea

July 5th, 2007 · 2 Comments

While visiting one of our resellers, we discovered Paromi Tea. They make some amazing teas in great flavors like Coconut Almond, Lemon Ginger, Pineapple Papaya, and Earl Gray Dolce. I like to make a pot of the Lemon Ginger or Cinnamon Chai (a decaf flavor) and drink it over ice during the afternoon. And the […]
