The Fancy Food Loot

I’m stuffed! We just had two days of an eating frenzy at the Fancy Foods Expo in San Francisco. We came here for ideas to give the cookies just a little pizzazz for marketing, but mostly we ate.


This expo was like the name indicates, Fancy Food. The finest chocolates in the world, finest cheeses, olives, bbq and on and on are all under one roof. Actually two roofs as there are 2 buildings full of booths.

On Sunday, the first day, we stuffed on chocolates, dolmas, all kinds of olives, but too late found some wonderful bbq., Stubbs I think is the name. We could not eat anymore food and they were cleaning up.

Today we made straight for the BBQ, like a bee. As we waited in a short line I spoke with one of the employees about where the best bbq in the U.S. is. I told him about my very favorite in Memphis but I was going to give his a try. There was no line to speak of so we got a rib and some brisket. The brisket was the most tender I’ve ever had and the rib was so good. We got back in line, this time they gave me one of their t-shirts while I waited. We then piled our plates with brisket, ribs and smoked pork. What a way to start the day.

By afternoon we were really full. Not even a chocolate could tempt me but nevertheless I did try to get another morsel down.

On the way out I had a burp, good but couldn’t tell what it was.
