No Chance to get in to this event without pre-planning. I spoke to Jon Kasky and Nancy Rohan of Bird of Paradise Catering from Carmel Valley last week about their booth at this event. This year they were featuring a Tuscan Bean soup, with the theme being under the Tuscan Sun. Over their booth they were decorating with fresh produce and sun flowers grown in their Carmel Valley garden. Incidently you can keep up with Jon and Nancy via their website at Paradisecater.com, or call their office at 831-659-3417 for the recorded message. They just returned from a trip from India, and I'm sure they came back with some new culinary ideas.

Saturday I ran into Karim Machi Poissonnier & Evangelist, with Tim O'Shea, Chairman,CEO, and the co-founder of CleanFish. They were in town for the event and we had an opportunity to chat, ever so briefly, about how much better it is to sell a product that you can feel good about.

I'm waiting for feedback on how the event went from participants!
