"There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination." - Willy Wonka
Imagination, wonder and daring to dream big were prevalent at the The Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City; a three-day specialty food smorgasbord featuring food and beverage artisans from around the world. With over 2,400 vendors from more than 80 countries showcasing 200,000 products, it was a foodies edible wonderment. I was only able to attend the last day of the show and focused on local-New York products, however I have a few notables outside of the Empire State.
I had my day cut out for me sampling: beverages, cheese, confections, sauces, spreads, and seemingly everything in between; it was a Pepcid AC commercial in the making.

My day started with the “New Brands on the Shelf Pavilion” featuring 34 emerging food entrepreneurs, who exhibited their products for the first time at a Fancy Food Show. Mingling and munching down this aisle was by far my favorite; hearing the stories of these passionate artisans was truly inspiring.
