For three years, Foodservice Monthly worked to tell our readers about the great opportunity that had opened in our backyeard when the Fancy Food came to Washington DC in 2011 and 2012. It's primarily a high-end food retail show but to many of the creatvie chefs and operators, it had been the place in NYC each summer to catch a glimpse at the best of food products and trends we could expect to gather momentum.
From Virginia to Tunisia and Cincinnati somewhere on the edge, it filled the convention center both years with 180,000 specialty foods and beverages from 80 countries.
One of our readers Jerry Edwards, president and corporate chef, of Baltimore's wonderful Chef's Expressions catering ... knows how to take advantage of an opportunity when he sees it and do a little team building along the way ... and see some old friends. It's all good as we hear people say.
FIELD TRIP!
Take a look at their day at the show as they showed it on their BLOG and you can expect to see these "finds" pop up at a future Chef's Expressions affair.
And to our friends at the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade ... you're welcome back whenever you can make it to Washington DC and the great Mid-Atlantic.
