Green Plate Special

Check out our weekly Green Plate Special at the Tuesday Market. Each month, we invite a local chef, or sometimes one of our very own market vendors, to be our chef-in-residence. These chefs dream up fresh, affordable plate lunches that showcase the local, seasonal ingredients available at our market. Meet a friend for lunch, or pick up dinner and take a night off from cooking. The city's top chefs shop at the market. Stop by and meet them at the Green Plate Special tent.

This month we welcome Beaucoup Juice, one of the fabulous new businesses on Freret Street, to the GPS tent. Dylan Williams and his team will keep us cool all month long with fresh juice snoballs made with local fruit. Other cool items on the menu this week include vegan apple-currant-banana bread, vichyssoise, Greek blackened shrimp wrap or salad with cucumbers, Creole tomatoes, local Feta, greens and Greek vinaigrette, orzo salad with olives, Creole tomato, yellow bell pepper & basil, and acai bowls that have us completely intrigued.
