This year, I have a few main areas of focus, but the biggest of them all can be described as “What does this food do for me?” This is reflected in so many different ways: functional, fast, fun, flavorful – the list is endless.

The holidays are busy and hectic in grocery, so to see folks out there doing what they can to make the produce department festive makes it extra special.

I'm sure some, if not all, of these items were on display in Atlanta a few weeks ago, but they got lost in the noise. That's the beauty of a regional trade show, right?

Giumarra Bros. has a promotion for its fuyu persimmions, #DoYouFuyu, and they kindly sent a box, along with some recipe suggestions.

Making CPMA's Potato and Leek Soup also had me wondering why Americans aren't huge fans of leeks.

The Global Produce & Floral Show is a sea of people and new products. How can you stand out from the crowd?

My college days are coming back, it seems, as my local club is going to start having the bouncer check IDs at the door.  

I love a store like this, where I feel like everything on the shelves feels like it was an intentional choice, and I'm sure their customers do, too.

This year's Southern Innovations expo featured about 200 booths for a buyer-heavy 1,400 attendees. Here's what got me to stop and ask, or take a second look.
