Today was the first day of the 2009 San Francisco Fancy Food show. The crowds were 4 deep at almost every booth and my first impression was "What recession?" because you would not know from the numbers and the enthusiasm that 2008 was a rough year for most of us retailers. The several hours I spent at the show was a nice respite from economic gloom and doom I read in every paper and hear on every news channel.
