One Fat Frog is at the 40th Florida Restaurant and Lodging Show as I write this! The Boss Frogs are there for all three days of the event, doing very important boss things, but they allowed me to attend yesterday – the first day of the event. There was a lot to take in (and consume) with over 5,000 people and hundreds of vendors in attendance. The aroma from all of the various food vendors was enough alone to put me into a food frenzy. But I kept my cool and zig-zagged my way through the crowd – eating everything in my path.
My Great Food Journey didn’t stop me from actually checking out some of the equipment on display (you know, my job) and taking some photos. Here’s some highlights from the show…
There’s Mrs. Boss Frog and someone resembling an employee of JLA Equipment Distribution. I can’t be too sure though.
JLA was displaying this super sweet countertop pizza oven from Peerless. It has four separate shelves that come with the stones already equipped. I wouldn’t be lying if I said I want one for home.
Here’s the pizza oven with it’s mouth shut. Some pregnant lady kept trying to get in the picture.
This is another convection oven from Peerless. I was too busy drooling over the four-shelf pizza oven to get any details.
Knives.
There was a little oven mishap at this one booth. They were serving up truly delicious samples of steaks and roasts, while a thick plume of smoke poured out of their oven. I was surprised no fire alarms or sprinklers went off. The steak was out of this world though.
The booth design award goes to Sysco, marketer and distributor of foodservice products, for their adorable recreation of a corner bistro.
Sadly I didn’t take any pictures of it, but the best sample award goes to whoever was scooping out the Mexican chocolate ice cream. Guuuhhhhh it was amazing. It was a Mexican chocolate base with cinnamon, cayenne, and a bit of marshmallow. They should just go ahead and call this flavor Heaven. Or Valhalla. Whatever you’re into.
