Sunset Strip Farmers Market – October Events

Love shopping for fresh ingredients at the Sunset Strip Farmers Night Market but don’t feel like cooking? You’re in luck – throughout the entire month of October the Farmers Market is featuring Chef Dinners: an opportunity to showcase local restaurants and chefs and to enjoy fresh and natural food. The majority of the ingredients used in the Chef Dinner menu items come directly from the Sunset Strip Market’s artisans and farms.

On Thursday, October 18 join Bean & Thyme Chef Paul Osher as he cooks sustainable meat and produce from Jimenez Family Farms (located in the Santa Ynez Valley). You’ll taste Spicy Braised “Lambwiches,” BLT sandwiches, Apple Melts (grilled cheese and pickled apples) and corn and chopped kale salad. Jimenez Family Farms uses “beyond organic” and sustainable farming practices to provide the freshest and healthiest ingredients to Farmers Market customers.

Return to The Sunset Strip Market Thursday, October 25 for the return of The Roxy Theatre’s hit Gourmet Grilled Cheese Night. Chef Michele Grant has quite a few variations of the traditional dish up her sleeve: choose from Appenzeller and Sourdough; grilled chicken, havarti and roasted cauliflower; braised lamb, raclette and shallots; rum and ginger nectarines with fromage blanc; and soyrizo, jalapenos and pico de gallo. You can wash down the melted goodness with the Market’s selection of California wines and craft beers. Over 90% of the ingredients to be used will come directly from the farmers market, and both vegetarian and vegan options will be available.
