Taste test: Campbell’s tomato juice vs generic

Chocolate and lemongrass at Winter 2019 Fancy Food Show
Single origin chocolate? Zzzzz…. So 2018. At the recent Fancy Food Show I sampled Scorpion Pepper chocolate from North Carolina, Lavender milk chocolate from Hawaii (source of the only cocoa nibs grown in the U.S.) and Salted Egg Cereal chocolate … Continue reading

Recipe: Andersen’s Onion Cheese Bread
I had forgotten about Andersen’s Onion Cheese Bread until I started researching the main attraction at the Andersen’s Pea Soup restaurants in various California locations. This bread is a wonderful mashup of crunchy poppy seeds, chewy onion fragments and mellow … Continue reading
Nibbling at the 2019 Winter Fancy Food Show
Once again the Winter Fancy Food Show was a garden of earthly delights. They’ve remodeled Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, taking out whatever separated the North and South Halls, so the venue seemed even more forbiddingly enormous than on … Continue reading
Cleveland Kraut: best taste at Fancy Food Show
We’re just back from the Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco and will have several reports over the coming days. But this is too good to wait. The (subjectively) best thing I had at the show can be found … Continue reading
