DAYLIGHT: By Baldor: Bite: An Arousal of your Taste Buds is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know! April 2014 Coverage Highlighting Fresh Origins, Church Brothers and More! We Look Forward to Featuring Some Fantastic New Brands We Met...

What is Bite Baldor?
It is a product exposition featuring the top influencers in the restaurant and food industry in New York.  Thank you Baldor for inviting us. Last year we were thrilled to attend the first Bite Baldor (click here to see our coverage), and we're pleased as punch to say this brand is two for two in Bite and has both of our thumbs pointing up.  Recently, Peachy Deegan was busy eating in Washington D.C. and she was so excited to see the Baldor truck she took a picture.   We wonder what restaurants we know use Baldor... 
Julie and David Sasuga of Fresh Origins
 You know we love Fresh Origins.  They dominate the microgreen market!  We tell you every month their latest and greatest because they always strive to be even better.  Fresh Origins is America’s leading producer of Microgreens and Edible Flowers. Combining the benefits of an ideal climate with a deep passion for quality and innovation, Fresh Origins products are sought after by the finest restaurants and top chefs and Baldor is one of their distributors.  If you are a restaurant that has not been reviewed by Whom You Know and are in one of our geographical concentrations and you use Fresh Origins, the owner of the restaurant should contact Peachy and we will review you.  We are thrilled to see their products used in new and exciting ways!
 Their flower crystals are divine and truly unique and incredible: 
 Every time we see them, they have a new variety we haven't experienced yet. 
The farm is located in the picturesque rolling hills of San Diego County, where the near perfect weather allows for production and harvest all year. Fresh Origins produces almost 400 Microgreens, Petitegreens, Edible Flowers, Shoots, Tiny Veggies™ and related items. Many are not available anywhere else, with new introductions nearly every month. Fresh Origins products are on top of the finest cuisine in the world! Fresh Origins supplies distributors of specialty produce who serve fine dining restaurants and resorts nationwide. There are also a few online sources of their products available to private chefs and home cooks.  Here is some of the Fresh Origins hit parade-seeing these microgreens is akin to a culinary fashion show-they are that gorgeous: 









 Perhaps for the Easter Bunny next year: 





 We have so much fun seeing all of the Microgreens that we could have been there all afternoon! 
We were also pleased to see our friend Mike Larocco from Church Brothers and try his fantastic Kale.
 But it was time to make some new friends...which way should we go?
Brand and people names of the below will be published post-formal-review.
 You know we love Italian food....
 We definitely have always loved Florida Orange Juice! 
 Promising produce: 
 Everything from Connecticut is better:
 Did someone say Burrata?
 
 Eat British cheese while watching your favorite BBC program...
 
 
Is it Ronnybrook or Cathybrook?  Either way we loved the skim milk.
We love caffeine!
 At Peachy's elementary school, she bought Guida's chocolate milk at lunch.
Meanwhile, back at the busiest booth:
Everyone wants to know what the buzz about Fresh Origins is all about of course.  We hate to say we told you... 
 And after the show, there was a cocktail party!
