This weekend is the Fancy Food Show at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan, a place where I actually have no business being, except that pickles are considered FANCY FOOD! But before I head to that on Monday, I'll be much more at home on Sunday at the UNFANCY FOOD SHOW in Brooklyn!
I attended last year and stocked up on McClures Pickles, Taza Chocolate and homemade Beef Jerky and this year I'm looking forward to hoarding Brooklyn Brine's Lavendar Asparagus and Serrano Green Beans, which are pretty fancy, actually. Even I'm surprised I like both so much but that should tell you just how seriously good this stuff is. I can eat an entire jar of the asparagus in minutes...
I also hope to get caught up and tell you about some of the GREAT pickles I've received in the mail (you know how much I love mail), like the spears, jams and salsas I got from Lani in California all because I answered a question for her (the answer was WHEEL HOUSE PICKLES), the pickles and asparagus I got from a cop in Wisconsin, to the garlicky pickles from Brad Owens in the windy city...these are the pickles that got me reprimanded in a diner...but I'll tell you all of this later. OH-one last thing - there is an exciting NEW PICKLE from Rick's Picks that is guaranteed to spice up the summer!
Ok, we'll chat more later, we have so much to get caught up on!
