Spotted at the Summer Fancy Food Show at Javits Center this June, the PinkGlow Pineapple from Del Monte is a tropical dream come true. With its naturally blush-pink flesh and super-sweet flavor, this genetically modified fruit is as photogenic as it is delicious. Grown in Costa Rica, the PinkGlow is a luxury fruit that’s pretty in pink and packed with flavor. A true feast for the eyes and the tastebuds!

Attendees of the annual Summer Fancy Food Show will offer no argument that the main focus of the event is right there in the name. Fancy Food  – which completely dominates New York City’s Javits Center for three days in late June – is all about Specialty Foods of all varieties and the people who love and obsess over them.

And how could we not feature something called Pink Sauce? It is just too perfect.

Put on your fat pants, bitches, because we are about to do some serious grazing. The culinary event of the summer has come and gone, leaving our taste buds with memories of euphoric ecstasy. The Summer Fancy Food Show (sponsored by the Specialty Food Association) packed NYC’s magnificent Javits Center for three gustatorily glorious  days in late June.  Boasting an impressive (read: sold out) lineup of over 2,200 makers and manufacturers from six continents, this gastronomic extravaganza showcased the very best of the specialty food and beverage world across a staggering 40-plus categories. It certainly was a lot to digest, but we will do our best to satisfy your cravings for the show’s highlights with our famous Photo Recap. Are you hungry yet?
