The Dane County Farmers’ Market returned last Saturday. I always like to purchase the various flavors of brats (e.g. jalapeno bacon) from D&G, but I had a small panic attack when I didn’t see them at their usual spot near The Old Fashioned. However, my worries soon dissipated when I saw them at their new spot, near the Cameo Day Spa. I bought a new flavor, honey mustard, and that is now my all-time favorite brat.

Not too far from D&G was Stella’s (at the State Street corner), which ran out of its famous spicy cheese bread by 9 a.m., creating a huge mob that waited for the next supply truck. I think Stella’s spicy cheese bread is too expensive, and you can save a dollar if you walk over to the Anchor Bank side where the Oakhouse Bakery is. Its spicy cheese bread is nearly identical.

Also returning was the Wednesday Farmers’ Market, which opened today to nice weather. By 12:30, about a third of the vendors had already packed up, and the remaining stands were pretty much picked over. That’s a good sign!
