On Tuesday, Bobbie and I decided to hop on over to the 4500 block of Harford Road for the Hamilton-Lauraville Tuesday Market at the Connection. The Market has grown quite a bit since its first days just about a month ago. Now there are about 20 to 30 vendors offering all kinds of local food and products. We decided to skip out on the dinner we had planned to enjoy some of these local flavors. Not only was the food tasty, but it was pretty cheap. We had 21 dollars and were able to have these meals:
Bobbie:
- Fresh Mint Lemonade
- 2 Chorizo Tacos from one of our favorite area restaurants, Clementine (we also hear their expanded restaurant should be open sometime in the next week or two)
- Frozen Fresh Fruit Slushy thing
John:
- Fresh Mint Lemonade
- Chilled Cream of Asparagus Soup
- A Killer Brisket Sandwich from Chef Mac’s Louisiana Cuisine.
I was very excited to hear from Mac himself that he would be opening a Louisiana style restaurant where the Alabama Bar B Que used to be.
With all the food purchases done, that left me with $5 left over to donate to the true highlight of the Market: the talented St. Veronica's Youth Steel Orchestra pictured here:
Good times had - we hope to catch you out at the next Hamilton-Lauraville Tuesday Market at the Connection. It happens everyweek between the hours of 4pm and 8pm.
