Take a Taste of the Farmers Market on Tuesday

Last year's inaugural Taste of the Farmers Market event was such a success that they've brought it back for another year, and it's happening this Tuesday.A $25 ticket gives you access to all the bits and bites provided by the Original Farmers' Market 's many food vendors, restaurants, and purveyors, and a coupon book ($5 more gets you two drink tickets for wine or beer). Roam the stalls and aisles from 5-9 p.m. and enjoy one of the city's most long-standing (76 years and counting!) and beloved cultural cross-roads and gathering places.
From Littlejohn's English Toffee, to Bennett's ice cream , not to mention Gumbo, pastrami sandwiches, root beer floats, sushi, Korean BBQ, Loteria!'s chilaquiles, and more, there are 45 stops to be made on Tuesday inside the Market. One prime draw of Tuesday's event is the chance to preview a burger from Short Order, which will likely be LA's next big burger destination when it opens early next year in the 2-story space that formerly housed Du-Par's Bakery. The restaurant is the effort of the bun-and-patty-and-toppings trio of Chef Nancy Silverton, Chef Amy Pressman, and restaurateur Bill Chait.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
