That’s me on the left. What a dream come true if I get to meet one food celebrity! But getting to meet 2 wonderful Food Network chefs was amazing! Paula Deen is beautiful in person, funny, and her personality lights up the room, just like you see on her show. My best friend Annie and I were at the Fancy Food Show 2007 in San Francisco to find out the newest food products and food industry trends for YummySF readers.

While we were meeting Paula Deen, Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa) dropped by Paula’s booth to say hi. Isn’t she sweet? She is just as sweet and warm as you see on her show. Her recipes are fantastic! Throughout the week, I will share more about the wonderful new food products we saw at the show.
