PrintUnfancy Food Show This Weekend in Williamsburg
In response to the Fancy Food Show, setting up this weekend as it has annually since 1955, the Unfancy Food Show will bypass the dehydrated foie gras chocolate-caliber fanciness for its second year to showcase handmade delicacies produced right here in small-scale batches.
Vendors such as Bronx Bee Honey, Jasper Hill Farm cheeses, McClure’s Pickles, Sixpoint Craft Ales and twelve other inspiring artisans will meet, rain or shine, at the East River Bar, a former paint factory and Billyburg institution. Skip the frenetic 675,000-square foot Javits Convention Center to meet passionate bean roasters, cheese mongers and pickle briners eager to feed you samples and stories. Unfanciness will take place Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.

Who is the [quote]passionate bean roaster[/quote] referenced above? I checked the link and find no mention of any coffee related exhibitors. But I do wish I could get to that show.

@phaelon56: Gorilla Coffee was at the event last year, but sadly couldn't arrange it this year, so you're right, no passionate roasters! Thanks for catching that.

In that case I suppose I'll have to exhibit there next year ;-)
