The Men of Konopelski’s Meats and Their Very Cool Hats! (All Photos By Gail)
Over the past two years, I’ve enjoyed covering the slow return of various favorite trade shows, such as the Affordable Art Fair and NY Now while holding-out for what I like to call ‘The Big One.’ Finally, after an absence of two excruciating years, the Summer Fancy Food Show (sponsored by the Specialty Food Association) made what can only be called a triumphant comeback in June of this year. It has taken me this long to distill the experience because, wow, the show was just overwhelming on so many levels.
There can be no doubt that the blissful monk wrapped in a Pink robe is what initially attracts potential buyers to this package of Lesser Evil organic popcorn with Himalayan Pink Salt. To me, popcorn is the most addictive of snack foods, and being organic with all kinds of tasty ingredients, I’m sure this is delicious. I wish I had some right now.

I swear to god, this Shark Attack Hand Sanitizer is a real product that exists which I spotted while on line to check out at TJ Maxx on Sixth Avenue between 19th and 20th Streets in Manhattan. Finding this made my week!

Because the search for Pink Things observes no Holiday!
Do you like Bananas? I sure do. Whether I’m eating a fresh banana (which is considered to be possibly nature’s most perfect food) or enjoying virtually anything banana-flavored, I am all about this versatile, bright yellow fruit. There isn’t much you can’t do with a banana, except get it to give juice — and puréeing it in a blender is not the same thing. If you are a Banana Fan, let me enlighten you to the fact that yes, you can drink a Banana, because Banana Wave Banana Milk is a thing that exists.
