Du-par's Pie Shop
A tradition nearly as old as the Market itself, Du-par’s Pie Shop is legendary. They bake fresh daily and they have such exquisite skill that even the usual choices – an apple pie or a traditional lemon meringue – are decidedly more flavorful than even dedicated pie lovers expect. For those planning holiday fare, here’s an insider’s tip: – locals traditionally order so many pies for Thanksgiving and the holidays from Du-par’s that fresh stacks of pies often climb to the ceiling: ordering early is a wise choice indeed.

Pampas Grill
No cafeteria anywhere can compete with this churrascaría – move down the line to select from an amazing assortment of side dishes (salads, corn, pastas, and much more) and finish at the main course station: slowly turning beef steak, sausages, chicken (the bacon wrapped chicken is unbelievably good). You pick exactly what you desire and the serving size you want. Among the newer Market choices, Pampas is also one of the most popular. (Critic Favorite)

Charlie’s Coffee Shop
A great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. No matter what you order – the exquisite French Toast, a great sandwich, a cheeseburger so perfect it's a star on TV and in newspapers – expect to hear the gang behind the counter bellow your name when your order is ready. (Critic Favorite)

L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook
By JoAnn Cianciulli
Photographs by Karl Petzke
From its humble beginnings in 1934, L.A.'s Original Farmers Market has become one of the leading destinations in Southern California. And this comprehensive cookbook celebrates the food, people, and history of this Los Angeles landmark. Mexican, Brazilian, Middle Eastern, and old-fashioned American diner fare are all here, among many others. Readers can re-create more than 75 stand-in-line classics like Chilaquiles Verdes from ¡Lotería! Grill, Falafel Sandwiches from Moishe's, and finish up with decadent Chocolate Fudge from Littlejohn's English Toffee House. Vivid photographs and rare archival images bring the Market to life.
7 x 9-1/4 in; 272 pp ; 85 color photographs
JoAnn Cianciulli is a well-known food writer and culinary producer who has been enjoying the Farmers Market for over a decade. Karl Petzke is a San Francisco-based photographer.
