Finding Delicious @ 2019 Summer Fancy Food Show: Part 1

summer fancy food show logo

Hello my friends and let me begin this one by asking how the summer has been treating you. So far it’s not been too super hot but as you know, its still only the tail end of June and July and August are often finding us seeking shelter from the heat. I’m just back from visiting my family down South and am catching up with as much of the second day of the Specialty Food Organization’s “Summer Fancy Food Show” as is possible. This is my third year attending as a member of the press and its a treat to share some delicious finds with the readers of this lifestyle website. Let’s get moving. I will chime in as needed as the narrative plays along.
