Mercado Kitchen: Never hard-boil eggs again!

Hard-boiled eggs are a wonderful, pre-packaged, protein-packed snack! They also serve as great breakfast accompaniments to granola or cereal that alone just won't keep you going until lunchtime. But hard-boiling eggs is a pain! How much water to use? Read more

Meet Ane and Luke, who are newcomers to the area, but are excited to have the MCM in their backyard!

 

Where do you live?  In the Mission, we moved here about a month ago.

How often do you come to the MCM?  We have tried to come to the market every week since we’ve been here.  I [Ane] get excited about Thursdays!

What are you buying?  Today, we’ve bought pasta from Home Maid, oranges from Twin Girls, apples from K & J Orchards, kale from Blue House, and Broncha cheese from Achadinha Cheese Company.

What’s your favorite part of the market? It depends! I think it’s exciting to be able to get something to eat here, like a 4505 Meats burger, there’s something to crave.  But, everything here is special in it’s own way, so I can’t just choose one!

What’s the best-kept secret at MCM, or something you would like people to know about? We want people to know about it!  When Luke walked past and realized that the market was here, we both came back the same day to shop.  People should come check it out because it’s good…. and try everything!  Every week, we pick something different and get it.  This week, we’re going to eat the apples and cheese together.

Meet JP, our Vendor of the Week!

JP Koehler (on the left) of Home Maid Ravioli is our vendor of the week! A visit to JP’s tent is like visiting a long lost relative who is happy to see you and eager to feed you. If you are innocently walking by his tent you are unlikely to leave without a mouth full of cheese spread or artichoke dip and a smile on your face. A master salesman, JP loves working farmer’s markets because it gives him independence and the luxury of spending his days outside in the sunshine chatting people up, meeting families and making people happy with samples and deals on his delicious pastas, dips and raviolis. Jp is known for joking with his customers and his positive energy is infectious. A San Francisco native, hailing from Noe Valley, JP has worked as a banker, a bouncer, and with the special needs tenants of a residential care facility. JP was also a high school wresting coach! Come meet JP this Thursday at the market and enjoy some of his garlic cheese spread!
