Very good Saturday market!!!
Hey everyone,
I love the Grand Lake farmers market because it's jam packed with good food vendors. I also hit Temescal since it's closer to where I live. The meat guy is great and broke off a little piece for me to try out since it was my first time there. Half a pound of yummy grass-fed beef! Woot. His instructions were good too.
I really like the music and setting there; plenty of prepared food stalls like Andy & Cynthia's Thai; Vegan Soul Food; shi-shi French cheese, etc. The flourless cheese balls are fun too! Make sure to go early or you won't get any potatos with your rotisserie chicken!!
This market is super close to Lake Merrit which is great to walk around too--only 3 miles! I don't like that the market is smack dab under a freeway (580) and hopefully that will be taken down in the future a la the Embarcadero in SF. (The reason for 4-stars only.)
CLose to Arizmendi's pizza co-op too!
