    479 popcorn is amazing! Seriously all the flavors are delicious.

    I found them recently on a site called sneakpeeq- http://www.sneakpeeq.com

    They're offering really cool bundles of their popcorn at prices you get to bid on.

    On a recent trip to Carmel I picked up a bag of the Black Truffle and White cheddar popcorn at a local deli. I was excited to see that it was made in San Francisco!

    I opted for the popcorn over a bag of chips, it was a far healthier and very tasty option. The popcorn was super fresh and there was only a hint of truffle that complimented the white cheddar very nicely. I think that it is easy to go overboard with truffle, but 479 doesn't.

    I can't wait to try some of their other flavors!

    One of the best popcorn I ever tasted besides the Truffle Popcorn at Desnuda and their popcorn definitely outranks Dale and Thomas!

    Black Truffle Oil and Black Truffle Salt Galore!

    If you have a popcorn maker, I suggest you do the pop it yourself deal, since that's the one that has the Black Truffle Set san cheddar.

    As a popcorn lover, I was really excited to try this brand.  On my recent trip to SF, I made a mental note to hunt down this popcorn.  I love Fleur de Sel so naturally that's the flavor I chose.  When I opened the small bag (about $4), I was a bit disappointed not to see one flake of fleur de sel.  Obviously, I didn't expect the popcorn to look like the gorgeous picture on the box but it should be somewhat similar.  I thought all the salt had fallen to the bottom but that wasn't the case.  The caramel tasted good but nothing really special.  Maybe I should have gotten the Black Truffle flavor...seems like everyone raves about that one.

    Not to mention this popcorn company was selected by Oprah as one of her "favorite things".  Nevermind that the popcorn and other ingredients are organic ...it is simply the BEST tasting popcorn I have evered savored!  So memorable.

    I first encountered this popcorn while vodka sampling at Hangar One, an artisan distillery in Alameida, California.  Yes, the vodka, the liqueurs, the whiskey was all top notch and memorable, but the true winner was the popcorn being sold alongside of them!  By the end of the tasting we had also sampled three different flavors of popcorn.  Most memorable was the black truffle and cheddar cheese flavor...can't get enough of the stuff!  Also available are: Chipotle Carmel and Almonds (yumm!), Fleur de Sel Caramel, Vietnamese Cinnamon, Madras Curry and Coconut, and more.

    If Alameida isn't convenient for you, this popcorn is available at tons of locations across the United States (see their website for locations) as well as online.  Once you try it you will be hooked!

    Damn good. Stumbled upon this box o' goodness at SFO. Bought it without looking at the price but vaguely recall it was, for all intents and purposes, pricey. That said, I am glad I found it. Who knew that northern Vietnamese cinnamon was different; I didn't even know my parents' homeland had such a claim. :-D

    This popcorn is awesome!!! Their flavors are super inventive and their popcorn is organic, local, made to order and really fresh, and amazingly flavorful! I met the folks at 479 a few weeks ago and they sent me their Globetrotter sampler pack to try. Check out my review of their popcorn and my giveaway here! I'd highly recommend 479 - they are great! http://pickyeaterblog....
