Artisan Market and People’s Market

Maybe it’s cones of artisanal handmade salumi from Boccalone Salumeria, and world-class fruit tarts made with Frog Hollow Farm organically grown fruit, both at the market at San Francisco’s Ferry Building, that you crave.  Or is Baltimore’s historic Lexington Market more your speed, where you can pick up dressed muskrat and squirrel for cooking at home, and enjoy a plate of some of the world’s finest jumbo lump crab cakes at Faidley’s?  Jane and Michael Stern give lavish praise to both markets on this past weekend’s episode of Lynne Rossetto Kasper’s The Splendid Table.  You can hear their segment, or the whole show, online.
