Lowdown on the Local goods

So we were out and about this fine Saturday.  Saw friends and food at the Premiere Spenard Market and South Anchorage Farmers Market.  AK Dispatch Article on Local markets lowdown 

Local Produce is slim this time of year, but great food is abound in Spenard and in South Anchorage.  Below are a couple of pics from out adventures.

Can’t wait to cook up our “Red Ranger” local bird!  According to Kyle, they were very popular last week, he hopes to keep up with demand!

Los Tacos- Carlos is a former “T-Bird” as he pointed out to my wife, we went to school together, that said he makes his own flour tortillas and Mexican food.  I had the Pork Flautas and Beef Tacos- The salsa was mildly spicy with a rich flavor that kept giving after you were done(Baja salsa was awesome).  The tortillas were tender and fluffy with a great chew.  Highly recommend talking to “Los”, he can throw down!

AK Sprouts were at the South Anchorage Market, highlighting their diversity in sprouts and offering local tofu.  Their tofu is really dense, resulting in a great texture and character. They were sold out of their onion sprouts… The secret is out, they are phenom!

The markets are off to a great start!  Hope to see you out there!
