Sarah Masoni and Sarah Marshall attended the Winter Fancy Fair Food Show in San Diego. We provide a brief overview of the show and the organization behind it, and discuss our favorite moments and the businesses featured. The show is where foodpreneurs connect with leading buyers, distributors, and retailers, network with peers, and enjoy world-class educational programs. It’s a cost-effective and powerful way to grow business because it is an environment rich with the movers and shakers in the food industry. And everyone is there to spend every minute discovering the latest in culinary delights.

We dive into standout products and brands that caught our attention at the Fancy Food Fair — from unforgettable booth displays to seriously delicious bites and sips.
