The amazing and impressive array of products on display at the Gourmet Products Show in the Moscone Center was confirmation that almost any product can be reinvented, improved upon, refurbished, or restyled. From the mundane to the extraordinary, the myriad of products on display was vast, exciting, and occasionally complex. In an effort to review these new or restyled products and to judge them on their own merits, we assembled a panel of respected specialty retailers to sort through the hundreds of products in each aisle. For our readers who were unable to attend the show and for those who attended but simply did not have a chance to experience it all, the following results should prove informative, interesting, and profitable.
