All Candy, All the Time
The All Candy Expo runs from today to Wednesday in Chicago. McCormick Place will house about 500 booths dedicated to, among other things, "popcorn" (sounds a bit repetitive), meat snacks (sounds a bit repulsive), and chocolate. Alas, as a bubble-gum-colored box on the event's website explains,"—sorry!—the expo is not open to the public. Only trade professionals may attend."
Lucky that blogging is such an esteemed profession. Though I won't be in attendance, the ringleaders from Chicagoist, Candy Blog, and Candy Addict will be filing regular reports over the next couple of days, hopefully checking in with Jacques Torres and Guittard's head pasty chef Donald Wressell.
