A Free Event on Wednesday, June 23rd to tempt every palette will take place at Downtown Santa Monica Farmers’ Market, located at the Intersection of Arizona and 2nd Street. Parking is available in structures on 2nd and 4th street from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Critically acclaimed chefs from some of Santa Monica’s finest restaurants: Roberto Maggioni from Locanda Del Lago, Sal Garcia from Fraiche, and Collin Crannell from The Lobster will participate in a friendly competition hosted by long-standing Farmers’ Market Supervisor, Laura Avery.
