The UnFancy Food Show

For those of ya'll who have neither the time nor discipline to make your way over to the Javits Center and enjoy one of the coolest events ever, there is an alternative form of food enlightenment available on the same weekend.

The UnFancy Food Show was created in 2007 as an alternative for people who are more interested in local, artisanal products than the majority of those available at the Fancy Food Show. While the selection is certainly dwarfed by the FFS, there will be some fantastic products available for sampling and the suggested admission is only $5.

A misleading poster as no actual alcohol or Olympian meat will be served

Some of my favorite food producers will be on hand including Wheelhouse Pickles (try the beets) and Salvatore (dreamy ricotta).

Some of the foods you'll be able to sample

If given the choice, I'd attend the Fancy Foods Show over this small gathering 1000 times out of 1000, but this is a nice alternative if you're looking for something fun to do on June 29th.
