Beignets outside New Orleans: The Gumbo Pot at the L.A. Farmer’s Market
Filed under: Eat, Midtown — StyleGuide @ 3:06 am
I like the L.A. Farmer’s Market at Third and Fairfax best on sunny afternoons. We set up on the west side of the market to enjoy a perfect pair — cold pitchers of beer from the bar and hot beignets from The Gumbo Pot.
Discovering The Gumbo Pot’s beignets capped a long search for decent New Orleans-style beignets in Los Angeles. For the uninitiated, the famous doughnut-like confections are airy rectangular pillows served adrift in a snowstorm of powdered sugar. The truly decadant can choose chocolate beignets.
Beignets, beer and the sounds of the market — close your eyes and fool yourself, just for a moment, that you’re 1,900 miles away, basking in that Big Easy sun.
Price: $ (under $10)
Where: Farmer’s Market, 6333 W 3rd St., #312
Call: 323-933-0358
