Market Lunch (at Eastern Market)


Kanishka

Recommended Posts

I was there this morning and unfortunately the news is sad but true. It is still open on weekends, but not until 11 and then they only serve lunch.

On a bright note, the produce vendor outside, he always sets up on the corner of 7th and what ever that cross street that is directly across from the entrance to the tennis courts/flea market (hmmm, you'd think I would know what street that is by now!), anyway, he had some lovely tiny, tiny fingerling potatoes (cooked them whole for about 5 minutes in simmering salted water, then suate them in butter) and a huge crate of turnip greens (sauted with shallot, garlic, and butter until they wilt).

There's also a new meat vendor outside that sells organic buffalo meat (a bit pricey), but he had some tasty buffalo jerky..think he is only there on Saturdays. He's from Cibola Farms in Culpepper, VA and has 5 or 6 huge coolers of frozen meat, buffalo, goat, various sausages and ground meat. www.cibolafarms.com

Also the poultry guy directly across from the cheese guy has been bought by the asian produce guy and I think he has already improved the selection, they were having a sale on duck parts today, and I picked up 6 lovely chicken thighs that ran me less then $3!

They are also at the DuPont market on Sunday mornings.

Yes, Mr. P (as I know him) bought out the poultry guys right before Christmas. His plan is to become as competitive as Mel at the other end of the market.
