All salty, sweet and sometimes salty and sweet offerings on the show floor had me starting the day off with a few shots of plop-plop-fizz-fizz. There’s work to be done, and an upset stomach wasn’t going to stop another day of snack bacchanalia. Still, it should be noted not all snacks at the Fancy Food Show were calorie-laden. Some things could even be considered healthy. After caffeine, nothing fuels the day quite like some protein.

Perky Jerky’s booth had one of their reps covered in their many flavors of dried meat. I asked him which flavor he recommended I’d try. After he mentioned the Jammin’ Jamaican Turkey Jerky flavor, I plucked accordingly and scarfed down the bag. All that animal protein in one sitting could pass for a meal with a little artful subterfuge. And after any great meal, comes a great dessert. The jerk flavored turkey jerky left my palate wanting even more spice with my sweets. The good people at Plush Puffs Handcrafted Marshmallows take the often bland S’mores fodder and turn the flavor knob to 11, with offerings like Mochaccino, Lemony Meringue and Pumpkin Pie flavors. I asked for the Coconut Curry flavored, likely the most exotic marshmallow conceived by mankind. They even expertly cooked it over an open flame (I like my mallows like I like my steak, medium-rare) with what can only be described as “Samurai Precision.” Beats my usual “Set it On Fire, Then Wave It Around Madly” technique.

Toasting the mallow only heightened the masala spices and the coconut within it. It was one bite that stuck in my head the whole day through: I see a bag or two in my future. Even after devouring the mallow that legend foretold, my curry craving was still not satisfied. Thankfully, I found Amar Singh, founder of Chicago based Spicemode. Singh makes all his spice blends and sauces with the freshest ingredients, and ever batch starts with plenty of caramelized onions, garlic and ginger. “I make everything myself, we blend all our spices in house and cook them down at a farm in southern Illinois,” Singh said. As I got my masala on, I stumbled upon Singh’s Good Food Award, granted to him for his flawless bottled Vindaloo sauce. Singh, humble as he was, reluctantly held it up for me to gaze upon and covet greedily. After getting more curry in my system than the last three months combined, I was on a bit of a power trip. The South Hall had a small collection of cheese purveyors, who were powerless in stopping me from crashing their cheese wheel pyramid.

I pulled massive wheels of parmesan and held them over my head with such ease, displaying my superhuman strength for all.sushi grade fish austin Yeah, the wheels were hollow. jiro dreams of sushi posterBut that didn’t stop me from trying to steal a few. sushi box online bestellenYou know, to decorate my office.jiro dreams of sushi phoenix showtimes After my feat of strength, my body was once again hankering for a fix. sushi san francisco tatakiI snack more than most, and this particular snack attack was particularly strong. sushi making kit ebay

My desperation had me begging the nearest purveyor to hand over the good stuff.sushi las condes 24 horas In my hunger delirium, I stumbled upon a human-sized cricket, selling chips made out of her buggy brethren. The morbid idea behind the pitch-woman aside, Chirps brand chips were actually delicious. Think of it as the tastiest tortilla chip you’ve ever had. You know, except it’s packed with ground up crickets. As far as inventiveness goes, I don’t think Chirps chips could be topped. At this point, I may have been overstaying my welcome. I figured I’d stroll down the aisles, high five a few big wigs and make my way home back to the Sierra Foothills. Things may have gone off the rails on Day 2 of my visit to the 2016 Winter Fancy Food show, but the memories and flavors will stick around on in my heart and palate for years to come.The man behind the "world's best restaurant" Noma, René Redzepi held a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Tuesday and revealed a few little known secrets about his life and business.

Here are our favourite ten. • World's best restaurant Noma serves live ants Gordon Ramsay is not a fan When asked if Gordon Ramsay had ever dined at Noma before he replied: "He was here, he hated it. But he was nice about it." Considering Ramsay's reputation for feuding, we'd say Redzepi got off lucky. He loves Mexican food A typical garnish for tortillas is prepared( JAZMIN ELIZABETH ADRIAN GARCIA) Redzepi thinks Mexican food is the most underrated cuisine, putting it on a pedestal up there with "the classic greats" such as French, Japanese and Italian. He added, "unfortunately it's often viewed as a quick cheap eat. I find that to be wrong." Even the greats mess up He admitted he burns toast and overcooks steak all the time: "I f--k things up all the time. I'm a master f--k up!" A good chef should stay at a restaurant for at least a year While he's only had a few jobs in his career, Redzepi believes chefs should stay at a restaurant for a year so they have a change to see everything.

Especially "if it's a place that follows the seasons and cooks up a full range of what's available." "We have people who have been in our kitchen for 7, 8, 9 years and we're still all learning!" He doesn't have a favourite restaurant Instead, he enjoys "any place where food is cooked with generosity and honesty." Jiro Ono rendered him "awe-struck" A still from Jiro Dreams of Sushi Meeting the 86 year old sushi chef Jiro Ono was a nerve wracking experience for Redzepi: "I was awe-struck. Interesting note is that you're not supposed to shake his hand when meeting him because he doesn't want them polluted before touching the rice. I got to shake his hand though and as soon as I remembered I wasn't supposed to do that — I almost s--t myself, literally. It’s mindboggling to have two hours privately with a man that is full of wisdom the way he is.” He loves his wife's cooking As the owner of the world's best restaurant, Redzepi is understandably a busy man. He doesn't have much time to cook for himself at home and loves when his wife does.
