Light My Fire
Light My Fire has hundreds (perhaps thousands) of hot sauces from around the world. Ranging from mild and amusing to spicy enough to curl eyebrows, the selection here is so rich and varied that a single selection seems impossible. A posted scale corresponds to the locations of the sauces, rated from 1 (just a little kick) to 10 (you’ll need a large glass of milk to soothe the burn).

Coffee Corner
A Market gem, serving coffee, teas, fruit drinks and freshly baked muffins and rolls throughout the day. This shop is a local favorite and it has been part of the Market scene since 1946. Owner Lilian Sears started her career here as the counter staff – these days, she’s still pouring the friendliest cup of coffee in town.
Restaurants
Stall 122
Singapore's Banana Leaf
An astonishing offering of original recipes grace the only restaurant of its kind in Los Angeles. Chicken, fish, vegetarian dishes ranging from spicy to mild, all prepared with strict obedience to the family’s time-tested recipes and, usually, served on a banana leaf (of course). Locals just love this place.

Magee's Kitchen
THE original Market restaurant– when farmers first parked trucks at Farmers Market, Blanche Magee thought they might like to have lunch, so she filled a picnic hamper and started feeding them. Today, folks still line up for outstanding roast or corned beef, tempting turkey and marvelous ham platters. Magee’s horseradish is homemade and fantastic, too, and the cole slaw is equally good.
