Back from ZestFest safe & sound

By: Joe & Linda on September 10, 2006- 8:15 pm

After a couple of fun & exciting days attending ZestFest out in Ft. Worth, TX, we’re finally back at the ol’ homestead here in sunny Ohio. We have so much to report upon from our trip, but suffice to say that we were so pleased to meet up with so many quality human beings in the hot & spicy food business…some new to us, some old friends. Here you can see us hanging out with Scotty B of Scotty B’s Gourmet Specialty Foods at his booth. We were so happy to see a quality guy like Scotty pick up some awards as well.

Stay tuned! Many more pics and stories to follow…even some videos as well.
