I think that a trip to the Third and Fairfax Farmer’s Market is in my future, perhaps as soon as tonight. Some may think of the market as a glorified food court, but there are some delectable finds.

I rotate through my favorites, Moishes for skewered chicken wings, Pampa for Brazilian or Loteria for platains and tacos.

Some people trash the Gumbo Pot, but my sample of one cup of gumbo warmed my tummy in a positive way. Magee’s Kitchen is the original food stand that started the influx of restaurants in the market, but I haven’t tried it. Du-par’s Restaurant followed Maggie’s, and is recently open after being closed for renovations. Reviews after the renovation are mixed, however.

The Farmer’s Market is a unique spot where a group can divide up, grab their favorites and meet back at one of the outdoor picnic tables scattered around the grounds. You can even pick up a pitcher of beer or bottle of wine and I have seen people bring in their own libations from time to time.

And that leads to my question. Where do you eat at the Farmer’s Market? Do you mix it up, or stick with your favorites? Dessert at Bennets, or a donut at Bob’s?

Let us know in the comments.
