Beaverton Foods CEO Domonic Biggi is in his booth #2263 taste-testing some bold new sauce flavors that incorporate sriracha as well as offering samples of its latest award-winner from the World Mustard Competition.
Beaverton Foods just took home a gold medal for its Inglehoffer Sriracha Mustard, which is available for sampling during the Summer Fancy Food Show alongside the new Inglehoffer Bread and Butter Pickle Mustard. Both of those are available at retail for a suggested price that’s around $3.89 to $4.49.
On the same table, Biggi is offering show attendees the chance to sample and comment on some of the flavors he’s experimenting with in his test kitchen. “It’s easy to be brilliant in your office,” he said, adding that he finds it even easier to be brilliant when his own intelligence is augmented by the advice of Fancy Food Show attendees, who bring exceptional palates and experience in food retailing with them.
Among the flavors he’s offering are Sweet & Sour Sriracha, Sriracha Sauce, Wasabi Tamari Sauce, Teriyaki Sriracha and a Creamy Sriracha Sauce. Depending on which of those flavors are greeted favorably at the show, they should be ready for release soon under either the Beaver or Ingelhoffer brand or both, Biggi said.
Shrimp Tacos at Robert Rothschild Farm Booth #SFFS14
By Lorrie Baumann
Chef Steve Constantine is making and serving shrimp tacos at the Robert Rothschild Farms booth #236 at the Summer Fancy Food Show. He’s just sauteing the shrimps and then laying them down on a warm corn tortilla and topping them with a citrus slaw made with the new Citrus Chardonnay Sauce that’s part of the brand-new line-up of organic sauces that are debuting at this show.
The other sauces in the line include Whiskey Pepper Cream, which has a little bit of a vinegary tang with mustard and onion and would be great in a potato salad. The Sriracha Teriyaki Sauce in the line is much more teriyaki than sriracha, but it has a long peppery finish that’s just spicy enough to be fun. There’s also a Blueberry Balsamic, a Pineapple Habanero and a White Wine Creole Sauce. They’re all packaged in bottles that resemble old-timey milk bottles for a retro look that underscores the tradition behind them.
Also in the booth, Chef Sean Robertson is sampling appetizers made with Robert Rothschild Farms Buffalo Bleu Cheese Dip. He just incorporated the dip with some chopped rotisserie chicken, celery and onion and spooned the mixture out into phyllo tart shells from the grocer’s freezer case. He says the mixture is also nice as the filling for a little tea sandwich, and I suppose that if you can’t find the phyllo tart shells at your grocer, nobody’s going to quibble if you put it on a nice cracker.
And if you’re at the Fancy Food Show, make sure you stop by booth #236 and take a look at the cake with which Robert Rothschild Farms is celebrating its 30th anniversary. And do say hello to the chefs when you sample the goodies.

Taste them at the Summer Fancy Food Show in NYC at booth #438.
Date Apricot Spread is pack
ed with dates combined with apricots, spices and orange juice.

Also perfect for yogurt parfaits or as a topper for vanilla or caramel ice creams.
• Sautéed Mixed Mushrooms contains white, crimini and shiitake mushrooms cooked with onions in olive oil and finished with a dash of lemon juice. It provides “essential” rich mushroom flavor to a variety of dishes, including risottos, pasta dishes, soups, omelets and savory pancakes.
Sweet Caramelized Onions includes the equivalent of 1 pound of raw sweet onions in every 7-ounce container! Th
e fresh onions are cooked in olive oil with a hint of brown sugar to boost the onions’ natural sweetness — the taste is so good you can eat them straight from the jar. Use them to top all kinds of meat and fish as well as in salad dressings, soups, pasta and rice dishes.

Terrapin Ridge Farms Debuts Tasty New Products at 2014 Summer Fancy Food Show
Terrapin Ridge Farms heats up the summer specialty food market with a delicious introduction of five brand new products and one new formulation of an existing product. These products will debut at the Specialty Food Association’s Summer Fancy Food Show to be held at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City from June 29-July 1 at booth 3927.
Terrapin Ridge Farms has amassed a cult following behind many of their specialty mustards and the new flavors being released this summer are sure to follow that trend.
Pumpkin Honey Mustard (9 ounces with a suggested retail price of $7.30) combines the sweetness of pumpkin puree with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. When mixed with honey mustard the result is an incredible condiment that tastes like fall in a jar. 
Pecan Honey Mustard (9 ounces with a suggested retail price of $7.30) marries the rich flavor of pecans with sweet and tangy honey mustard making for a perfect meat or vegetable glaze or simply as an accompaniment to cheeses, pretzels and crackers. Terrapin Ridge Farms’ Brown Sugar & Pecan Mustard (8.5 ounces with a suggested retail price of $6.70) has been reformulated and is even better tasting with notes of sweet brown sugar and roasted pecans. All three mustards are all-natural and vegan, the Pumpkin Honey Mustard and the Pecan Honey Mustard are also gluten free.
With the very popular emergence of its Sriracha Sauce last summer, Terrapin Ridge Farms is back with Sriracha Horseradish Sauce (8.5 ounces with suggested retail price of $6.70) that combines the popular spicy pepper with horseradish for a one-two punch of flavor and zip. This product is all-natural and gluten free.
Two new jams will debut this summer that combine sweet, savory and spicy. Cinnamon & Clove Tomato Jam (6 ounces with a suggested retail price of $8.00) is the perfect flavor combination of robust tomatoes, cloves, cinnamon and lemon zest. It makes for an excellent mashed sweet potato mix-in, on a crostini with goat cheese or on warm biscuits with butter. The Apple Horseradish Jam (6 ounces with a suggested retail price of $8.00) brings the sweetness of apple and a zing of horseradish together for a memorable journey for your taste buds. This jam pairs with strong cheeses like Manchego, or on sliced pork among other amazing applications. Both jams are all-natural, gluten free and vegan.
“We’re introducing some very unique flavors at this show and we’re confident consumers will adore these new products,” said Terrapin Ridge Farms’ CEO Mary O’Donnell.
