Chocdoc and Chocolot take their hearts to San Francisco

[Beebs]

Bathtub chocolate is the most bad@$$ thing I've seen in a long while - way to go, Kerry!

 

Any bathtub caramel bonbons in the works?

More pix of Kerry with various character/people. Brian from Tomric, Michael Laiskonis, Fran Bigelow of Fran’s Chocolates. And the Cow.

@Beets3 and I enjoying a Brothers Perryman in the hotel lobby bar - @Chocolot enjoying cool resfreshing water after a day of floor walking.

@Kerry Beal what is that plushy-looking thing hanging off your purse?

Here is the lovely Kiwi gentleman for whom we made the meltaway in the bathtub! He was very happy and may just eat them all himself.

 

He told us he lived out in the country on the north island in New Zealand - had never been out of the country and didn't have a passport until the week before he travelled to SFO.

If you're asking about the planogram, that's a retailing thing. It's kind of a "road map" to your retail space, where you lay out in detail which product (and how much of it) is displayed where. In this case, given the context, it would seem to encourage food retailers to add more international foods cultural categories (from that vendor, natch) to their product mix.

My DW and I didn't attend the FFS last year or this year. I don't recall ever seeing the Japanese knife booth before.

I think it was a special display. There were a few other foods tucked in there as well.

Kind of slim pickens in the United Lounge. However able to get some cheese when they put lunch out.

 

 

 

Edemane for the salad which was a nice addition.

While Kerry was enjoying her luxury lounge, I was stuck in the cattle area of Delta:) This is what $11 gets you:) Kerry was still in my head saying, protein, not chocolate and pastries.  I had a wonderful time. If you ever get the chance to play with Kerry, do it!! I am too old to keep up with her, but she is very patient. She walks fast, and knows everyone! Had a marvelous time and can't wait until Niagara-on-the-lake workshop in May. Thanks Kerry.
