This Saturday we are excited to have chef/owner of Split Pea Seduction Christian Noto. We have a natural affinity for Split Pea Seduction, whose changing daily menu serving made-from-scratch soups, sandwiches and crostatas from a counter near 6th and Market seems in the same spirit as rotating chefs cooking in a dingy Chinese restaurant.

Christian is calling his menu for this Saturday, "Yankee Goes Southern," and he'll be featuring produce from Mariquita Farms, Capay Organic, Knoll Farms, Dirty Girl, and County Line Harvest.
