A quick note to our readers. When I started la.foodblogging, my goal was to provide personal reviews of food joints around town. I enjoy getting suggestions from friends on where to eat, what to order and hear about places they want to try. I have created la.foodblogging under that same model, get a bunch of [...]

Santa Monica Farmers Market Report For 8/30/06

I just got in from the market and it was bursting with goodness. Fall is starting to show itself in the fruit being offered. I only made it halfway down the market, but in that time I saw 3 stands selling pears, and one stand with apples (both of which were not out [...]

Cafe Bizou, Of Course

Tuesday, August 29, 2006 18:07 2 Comments

Well, who hasn’t heard of Cafe Bizou? #1 on Zagat, top ten on Fodor’s, #3 on AAA Senior Discount Road Trip Bonanza. Cafe Bizou. Same as it always was. Except…

For the last few Tuesdays, I have been making a point to visit the Manhattan Beach Farmers Market at lunch. The market opened a couple of months ago, adjacent to the growing Metlox Block Project (yes, they really call it a “Project”) and for a smaller FarMar, I am impressed. It looks like they plan [...]

August is for laziness. Folks go on vacation, the days are warm and sunny, and the Farmers Markets are overflowing with bounty.
