Produce Buying & People Watching at SoCal Markets

So I made a last-minute trip to southern California this weekend.

Because the visit was so quick, I didn’t have time to schedule a tour of a farmers market. That’s a shame because California agriculture is a force.

I did, however, get to hear about the San Diego farmers market at Hillcrest today from my dinner companions. See an example for yourself on YouTube [Not my video].

Next time I’m here during a market, I definitely want to find the baker lady from Oceanside who makes a delicacy that looks more like coral than a loaf of bread.

I was just happy to enjoy fresh flowers at the table…plus my sister’s signature satay chicken and her housemate’s sesame grilled zucchini. Excellent. They all raved about my strawberries too until they found out that the secret to their extra sweetness was a teaspoon of sugar.

But what I really want to see is the historic farmers market in Hollywood. I’m told that’s a sight to behold. I can only imagine that produce isn’t the main attraction. Indeed, apparently the market near Hollywood & Vine is THE place for people watching.
