LAX - SFO

Morning came early to Greenvalley today: a 5 a.m. wake-up alarm to catch a 7 a.m. flight to San Francisco for the Fancy Food Show.

Road trip!

I got to the Moscone Convention Center in downtown San Francisco just in time for the show's 10 o'clock opening and was there until 4 this afternoon sifting through what the press office says were 80,000 products on view.

I hate to be the one to tell you, but the jam and pickle showing is weak, weak, weak.

There are really just two things I can recommend without hesitation: Mother In Law's Kimchi has changed the way I feel about kimchi—which is to say, before I'd eat it if it landed on my plate but I wouldn't have crossed the street to try it. Tomorrow I'll go back to visit the Mother in Law and learn more about this great new company.

And then I tasted Robert Lambert's sweet preserves for the first time, and they are truly exceptional. His Five Grapefruit Marmalade blew my mind.

Both products are available on-line.

More reports later, but now I have to dash out to eat pizza at A16 with Akasha before we go have a proper crab dinner on Fisherman's Wharf.
