I scored a press pass to the 34th annual Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco this weekend. I only spent 2 hours there today, but decided to take the next two days off from work in order to really dig in. I’ve already got at least a half dozen story ideas in mind, so I think the next two days will be both fun and productive. Keep an eye out for articles on wild, new food products in the coming days and weeks.

Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa was lurking around aisle 900 today according to Nicole at PMGCreative, and thanks to Suki for reminding me that there is a WordPress iPhone application so I don’t need to lug my MacBook Pro to Moscone while I wait for my new netbook to arrive.

Jennifer In the press office was a peach, but the guy who jumped me for my card the moment I left the office with my press pass scared the living daylights out of me. Only a well-paying blogging gig could get me over the shock 😉

An annual event in San Francisco, the Fancy Food Show is a convention with over 15,000 exhibitors presenting over 80,000 products. That’s a hell of a lot of samples for this intrepid blogger, but I shall persevere.
