This show is really targeted to gourmet retailers, so it's rare that I find a supplier for one of our theme park restaurants. However ... there are always ideas to steal, and flavor combinations to consider.
The Hubby and I went with our friend Buffey. She happens to be an incredibly talented Culinary Mercenary, and she's currently helping plan a deli for a health food store chain. The day had some magic about it. Every person who I had hoped to network with Buffey happened to cross our path ... either away from their own booths, or even as fellow attendees walking the aisles. Some really great connections were made.
A couple of the gluten free baking mix manufacturers who I spoke with were able to meet my needs for my bakery at the Texas Renaissance Festival, so the trip was a business success also. That was really my only quest this year, although the Fancy Food Show is always dazzling, and worth the trip.
