Fancy Food Show in NYC
New York City - 1 year ago - Mary
The Fancy Food Show is an annual expo for food industry people where thousands of vendors and business owners descend on the Javits Center in New York for one glorious, sample-filled weekend. It’s kind of like going to Costco when they’re giving out bites of frozen pizza or bbq sauce in every aisle, except this Costco has more aisles than you can cover in a day, and new and exciting foods from all over the world. Luckily my nutrition/consulting credentials are enough to wedge my way in to the festivities.
This year I couldn’t make it, so I sent along a correspondent to report back on new trends and yummy treats. My older daughter’s boyfriend’s sister (got that?) lives right in Manhattan so she masqueraded as Mary Miller for the day. Don’t tell the Fancy Food Show police.

A food adventure might be sleuthing out the juiciest June strawberries at a farm market, learning about gone but not forgotten area food treasures, working with a chef during a hands on cooking class or touring Pennsylvania’s artisan cheesemaker’s farms (and meeting a few cows along the way) . . or any of a zillion other fun ways to explore foodie things within a day's drive of Pittsburgh.
