Each year when the Fancy Food Show comes to NYC, we like to do a preview open house for our customers. Come by Saturday, June 27th between 1pm-4pm to meet, taste and save. The store will be full of owners and suppliers offering free tastings and answering questions about their products.

Some producers you will meet….

Stokes Mayonnaise back in the US!

We are all happy at the CMB store to have one of our favorite brands back in the store – Stokes! After a short absence their mayonnaise and other condiments made it back into the United States. All the Stokes Mayonnaises are made with top quality ingredients which makes it taste like homemade mayonnaise. Here at the store we love the Blush Tomato Mayonnaise on an Amy’s Bread Baguette- our neighbor in Chelsea Market.

Stokes Products:

Blushed Tomato Mayonnaise

Garlic Mayonnaise

Chili Mayonnaise

Real Tomato Ketchup

Spicy Tomato Ketchup

David’s Travels in Search of Inspired Specialty Foods in the British Isles!

I am looking forward to spending about 10 days in England and Scotland starting on Thursday, looking for more exciting and tastful products to bring to our corner of Chelsea New York and to our on line customer. My travels include visiting Tyrrells farm with the Peters Imports folks and than traveling to London for a show that is called IFE or the International Food and Drink Exposition (ife.co.uk) which takes place every 2 years.

In my new capacity, helping steer Peters Imports with what is brought back from England and at the same time finding new and wonderful stuff for Chelsea Market Baskets, I am keen to find product that we can sell that has never been the USA before and with the exchange rate now working in our favor, providing good value as well to our customers. After the show in London, I will be visiting Scotland for about 5 days, which should be good to dig in a little and see what is new and not discovered yet there. These trips are good because I can find myself in many shops check out how they look as well as what they are selling and trying to capture the spirit of an older work food shop. If there is anything that you especially interested in please email me and I will be looking.
