First experience at the Napa Farmers Market 5/28/16! Of course I had to be competing with other activities for this market.

I was so happy that everyone braved the 90 degree heat and purchased a hot soup from me. Next week it will be cold!

What I discovered was that each bar only focuses on one kind of dish...Sushi, Unagi, Tempura, Soba,...
