The Feed told you about the UnFancy Food Show. Now, here’s a dispatch from the convention it apes. Yesterday, we milled about the Javits Center with what must have been thousands of industry professionals on the last day of this summer’s Fancy Food Show. Representatives of countries from all over the world—among them, Senegalese spice traders and sleek Italians hawking mozzarella di buffala—manned hundreds of booths devoted to indigenous products. Big-name producers like D’Artagan (we love you, smoked duck breast) shared the vast floor with smaller companies such as Udi’s Natural Artisan Granola (with standout blends like Hawaiian ginger, toasted Macadamia nut and coconut). The U.S. was also well represented, though New York clearly took the cake: Brooklyn-based Mari’s bakery was among this year’s prizewinners for their caramel sea-salt brownie. Check out The Feed’s slide show for a taste of the samples we enjoyed.—Lara Rabinovitch









Lara,
Thanks for the Udi’s mention in your story about the Fancy Food Show. Love the close-up picture of our Summer Peach Crisp seasonal granola blend. See you next year in NYC!
Be Udiful,
Eric (aka Granola Tycoon)
