little rock bites was on the road recently and visited the red stick farmers market in baton rouge, la. while there, we caught a top chef cook off, of sorts, and got to sample & cast a vote. the two dishes battling it out were alligator, okra & tomatoes over grits and fried soft shell crab with a cream sauce. little rock bites neglected to snap a photo of the sampling dishes, but fortunately did snap a few of the chefs preparing the soft shell crabs. the event turned out to be the Fresh from the Market Cooking Show which is held each Saturday at 10 am inside Main Street Market. the cooking demonstrations as they are called, feature local chefs from around Louisiana and the recipes always incorporate local, seasonal ingredients found at the Red Stick Farmers Market. fun.
