Our 2020 Fancy Food Show Favorites!

Just a couple weeks ago, a few members from our Mirus team headed up to San Francisco to attend the 2020 Winter Fancy Food Show. It was an exciting weekend spent exploring through the Moscone Center, sampling and learning about amazing new products, and hearing from industry experts about shaping the future of food. While meeting many new faces along the way, we also had the opportunity to network with some of our brand ambassadors and clients at some Mirus-hosted happy hours!
