Recap: JFG’s Trip to the 2013 Summer Fancy Food Show! Only 1 Year Late.
Junk Food Nation, so I haven’t posted in two days, and now this post emerges over the weekend?? WTF. Explanation: (1) I’ve actually been spending a lot of time editing the video below (SO PLEASE WATCH IT), and (2) my lawyerly duties had me sidetracked a little bit. But I’m here now! Let’s get to it:
TODAY’S TURKEY HILL FREE COUPON WINNER:
Thanks to all who entered my Facebook contest Wednesday! Today’s random winners are:
MARIA HO, JACOB DAY (and CAROLE PRIMAVERA WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU? You won like a couple weeks ago. EMAIL ME.)
Congrats, you guys! Email me your contact info to Junkfoodguy@junkfoodguy.com and I’ll get the free coupon in the mail to you!
TODAY’S WAY TO WIN A FREE 1.5 QT OF TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM:
We’ll do ONE MORE CONTEST ON TWITTER:
Over the next four days, simply tweet me @junkfoodguy and tell me WHY I should pick you as a winner of a Turkey Hill coupon, and then hashtag that answer #TRKAmbassador. That’s it. Tweet me WHY, and HASHTAG it. Boom. Entered. AND, better yet: I will pick FOUR (4) winners from that Twitter pool.
So that means on Wednesday July 2, I’ll not only be announcing the winner of my month long contest (3 Turkey Hill Coupons), but also FOUR MORE winners of Turkey Hill Coupons. I give, I give, I give. Now start tweeting.
I’M OFF TO THE 2014 SUMMER FANCY FOOD SHOW!
So, I’m going to be out of town for Monday and Tuesday because I’m heading up to NYC for the 2014 Summer Fancy Food Show! If you’ve been reading this blog, you’ll know this is my favorite yearly event. Please watch the video below that recaps my experience at LAST year’s 2013 Summer Fancy Food Show! It’s a little long, but I know you’ll enjoy it (plus it took me forever to make so please take a looksee):
Thanks for watching, Nation. In case you’re wondering, Jen is NOT the Junk Food Gal, but the Jen who sometimes guests posts on this blog (she did the ever famous Candy Corn Oreo review). She’s way funnier than me.
If you want to read all about my past two Summer Fancy Food Show experiences, please click on the image below, and you’ll be taken to a menu of all my past show links:
The show really is an awesome time and I am STOKED to go. Sometimes, these things sneak up on you, you know? Yesterday I was churning out 27 pages of a legal brief, today I’m hopping a bus to New York to eat little cubes of cheese all day. I love my life.
So yeah – I’ll see you on Wednesday of next week! GO USA! Beat those Belgians! And don’t forget to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram so you can see everything I’m eating this weekend.
Thoughts? Please comment below or hit me up on Twitter @junkfoodguy or LIKE my Facebook Page and message me there. I also have Google+!! Let’s hang out.
Sincerely,
Junk Food Guy

What happened around 4:40 or so? It looked like you were afraid Justin was going to start attacking you and you were looking for a way to get away from him. 😀
@Dana: LOL
Your video is making me laugh but I sadly can’t say why or Dubba might kill me.
@Nick: Dubba wouldn’t hurt a fly
This year I vow not to be so immersed & blinded by never-ending food that I completely overlook an entire floor as I did last year! Any tips for hoarding products back since they are pretty strict with the “no samples” policy (which is ridiculous btw!!)
@Kate: Sorry for the late reply – I hope you enjoyed the show!
As for the hoarding, I hope you made it out with a few. I just take a closed backpack.
Do they let you take food out with you? Otherwise I’d just pack a sack & put all the food I couldn’t eat with me. Been reading about 2013. The cheese products interest me the most.
@MP: You can sneak food out as long as you’re discrete – think movie theater discretion
