[@Ucongold]

Loved the review. I can't believe how much and how varied the food options are-truly something for everyone! Lisa, you can now add TV food critic to your resume!!!! :) A+ video Bill..great job.

[@billandlisa]

So true! Something for everyone at the LA Farmers Market!

[@tamarawant8286]

I was thinking yesterday, I hope they hit the LA market again soon.

[@Ucongold]

Yum!!! I seriously can't believe how much you did in 1.5 days! I am full just watching this. 😀

[@momlovesnoel]

"we have to get it, baby" 🤣 Works like a charm every time!! :) :)

[@billandlisa]

It does! lol

Bill and Lisa, my father was a truck driver for C&H sugar and every Monday he delivered sugar to Littlejohns and also Dupars at the Farmers Market. The ladies at Littlejohns were always so nice and generous. They always gave him a small box of the brittle which was delicious and something we looked forward to. A dear friend from Australia was here in June. We went to the Farmers Market for lunch and stopped at Littlejohns. It hasn't changed and the brittle is still very delicious. The delivery man had just left, and there was the supply of C&H sugar! You story brought back so many memories. Thank you for sharing.

[@billandlisa]

Thank you for sharing, Georgeanne. Great to know Littlejohns is still making their products the old fashioned way, with lots of Challenge butter and C&H. lol

[@WestCoasters]

So fun to see you at the Farmers Market! We are big fans of yours and really admire what you do with your channel. CHEERS guys!!!

[@billandlisa]

We appreciate that! Thank you!

[@LisaLisaLisa1]

Farmer's Market was one of my favorite places to go when I was growing up in Los Angeles. You should try Bryan's, Magee's corned beef and Bob's donuts. All amazing and been there forever.

[@billandlisa]

Another reason to go back for us. lol So many choices there.

[@clubmogambo3214]

If anyone in recent years has ever visited the LA Farmers Market, you obvious were amongst the huge crowds enjoying themselves there. But believe it or not, there was a time when the Market was in danger of closing down due to poor attendance and just a general rundown of the area and the market itself. What ended up not only saving the Farmers Market, but actually causing it to thrive and become more popular than ever was the development of the hugely popular Grove shopping/dining center next door. It literally revitalized the Market and surrounding neighborhood.

[@billandlisa]

The Grove definitely spiced up the area. It's now a full day's outing when you visit both the Grove and FM.

[@TheJleliot]

I've been going to the farmers market for over 50 yrs. They did change it alittle thru the years but it's still one of my favorite places. And a good place to people watch

[@ppaschal17]

Love you guys!!

[@billandlisa]

[@jessicagarcia6945]

That waffle shot looked soo good! Now I need to go to the LA farmer’s market. Loved the video!

Hi Bill & Lisa! My husband, LosFlyingTurntables, and I absolutely love you guys. I grew up in LA and as a Persian I’d love to recommend you try out Attari Sandwich Shop in Westwood.

To Lisa: I knew I'd run into you at work one day. Late Saturday night maybe you remember leaving your shift and walking through the parking lot past my white car that was being tended to by security and AAA. I wanted to say hi so bad but I had to deal with my car. I'll have to come by for a drink one night!

[@billandlisa]

I saw you!! Sorry about your car.

[@laurens.7510]

The international market is great there. Lots of curated items you can't get anywhere else. Addituonally, premium shopping and the best (imho) Erewhon of the chain. Beware of the produce sticker shock. Strawberries were 20.00 for a container. I wantef to thank you folks because I have not been down sincecWaffleshot opened. I have to go this coming weekend. Honestly, that is not a bad price for an elevsted dessert

[@billandlisa]

Have a great time at FM! You’ll love the Waffleshot!

[@billandlisa]

That's where we picked up the Topo Chico; cool market! Always a good move to have Crystals on hand. lol

[@darrylk808]

Been there a long time ago. Didn't know what to eat. Now I do for our next visit! Brazilian meat and Toffee! How's your A1C? 🤣

Wow! The farmers market looked huge! I would love to try the brazillian food. It looked so yummy!!

[@billandlisa]

It is of good size, so many shops and eateries!

[@yvonneacosta2539]

Can't wait to visit the Farmer's Market. It has been on my list for years. It all looks so good. That toffee is calling my name! Lisa on KTLA!!! Woo hoo! We used to have KTLA in El Paso as one of our cable channels. Would watch the Rose Parade on that channel every year. Unfortunately we no longer get that channel. 😞

If you want good French pastry, check out Michelina the next time you're at the Farmers Market! One of the best kouign amann in the city.

[@billandlisa]

Good to know! Thanks for the rec.

[@jmbear628]

fun times at a great la delight. i believe i was there maybe back in 1985. right next to nbc studios? i do not recall eating there though. great way for an eatery to get some foot traffic and business. maybe the original food court idea?

[@billandlisa]

Maybe! Back then, pretty sure there were more produce type booths.

[@selfself8813]

Next door to CBS, not NBC… where nothing happens anymore…for a long time now!

[@Shonufff88]

13:50 Bill didnt want to try one anyways....

[@billandlisa]

LOL! Lisa's more of a pickle fan.

[@minlui2752]

Fried shrimps with lemon sandwich is a little different. That looks like a huge farmer’s market. Those meats are thick cuts Brazilian BBQ which Lisa says is not cheap but has great flavors and very good. Peanut butter, pickles, English toffees, waffles cones with ice cream are some great sweets. It isn’t your typical farmer’s market with all kinds of cooked food and sweets. Guess you didn’t show the junk food, haha 😂!!!!

[@louizelvira4359]

Is it normal to put a slice of lemon in a po boy? Seems like the rind would be super bitter…..

[@billandlisa]

Of all the poboys we had in New Orleans, none had lemon in it. That's what we thought when we saw the lemon rind, but it wasn't bitter maybe because it was thinly sliced?

[@minlui2752]

I’m first for a change, haha!!!! But I haven’t watched the video yet since it is just starting now!!!!

[@Moondoggy1941]

I hope you guys are safe. Another shooting.

[@billandlisa]

We are, thanks.

[@alyssadiceflipper5201]

We went last month and it's sooo expensive there. You almost need to do a "best deals" for farmers market.

[@billandlisa]

Yes, prices have gone up, not only there, but we see it in other places too. With the rising cost of foods, these businesses have to do what they have to do to keep going. That said, a 'best deals' is a good idea for a future video.

[@calvingadget5856]

When you go to New Orleans, can you visit Lafayette and Baton rouge. I've never been there. Goto to beautiful plantations on the way. It's American castle. Sad part is learning about slavery.

[@billandlisa]

Would like to visit other parts of LA, but for flight convenience and concentration of things to do and eat, the Quarter area is where we always seem to gravitate to.

[@liannebryant918]

Aloha! We ate lunch at Maggianos at the Grove and walked over to the Farmer's Market last Tuesday (7/26). Was that the day you guys were there? If so, shucks, just missed you guys by a couple of hours. We bought lots of toffee from Little John's and a few empanadas from Nonna's. Would have gotten some of that home made peanut butter to take home, but just learned of about it on this video. Great recommendations!

[@billandlisa]

Think we shot this video on 7/19 or 20. Another reason to visit again! lol

[@Lifewithemerson323]

this the last place that the cops came too Hopefully you guys got out safe

[@billandlisa]

Absolutely! Look for it in a couple weeks. Thanks so much for saying Hi!

[@sherri1374]

The bread on the poboy is all wrong. Thin sliced lemon is natural on poboy sandwiches in Creole homes.

[@billandlisa]

Yes, it's no Leidenheimer as we mentioned, and probably not practical for a small business in Los Angeles to import it. The lemon was new to us, tastes great in the poboy!

[@traciechakraborty3829]

sorry, but there's WAY too much bread on that po'boy. in nawlin's every sandwich is close to 60% shrimp. & where's the remoulade?

[@billandlisa]

Could've used more shrimp for sure, and not the same bread, but that's what having a poboy in New Orleans so special.

[@jc2333]

The place is expensive.

[@susanbiermann5902]

Maybe you are supposed to take the lemon off at squeeze it on I would not eat the lemon

[@NickPsichopaidas]

Bread looks terrible on po’boy shrimp

[@selfself8813]

She has way too much meat! Portion control needed. And btw, the food here is weighed and you are charged by weight. Portion control, budget control!
