Step right up for samples & stardust
Yesterday was a blur of market, Hamilton Pool and Saltlick. We hosted Gourmet from 9-1, featuring giveaways of seed packets, olive oil and high grade organic chocolate. Jesse did a shrimp cocktail redux style demo, which folks were panting about, and more of Roberto’s shrimp was in order before the clock struck 11:30.

Jim Collins of Frei Brothers stayed for the entire event, joining us for dinner at The Saltlick, where NY and CA visitors get a faceful of sauce.

Have fun at Ferry Plaza, y’all. Think often of Austin and I’ll see you again soon…unless of course I can’t take it anymore without The Spotted Pig and all the other places formerly in walking distance of home.
When and where was this?! I’m so jealous!
It was Saturday, April 25 at Austin Farmers’ Market downtown at Republic Square Park, 4th and Guadalupe. The nonprofit for which I work, Sustainable Food Center, runs this bi-weekly market.
