One thing we'll especially miss is treats from the Chef Shack. (I'm trying to convince them to drive by my house from time to time like an ice cream truck.) These guys are bringing wonderful gourmet food to the street. This year they'd already introduced me to Tongue Tacos (I knew about tongue tacos but had never tried them), Beet Ice Cream, Indian Spiced Mini Donuts & Bacon Ketchup.
This week they were serving chicken feet! I'd never had chicken feet but felt like it was something I need to try at least one. The Chef Shack braise their chicken feet, fry them up in a tempura batter & then serves it with a fire sauce.
I was quite surprised at how much I liked them. I think a lot of what made these so good was the batter & the wonderful sweet & spicy sauce. The texture surprised me as I expected them to be a lot chewier than they were. I think it would take a lot of chicken feet to make a meal of them but they made for a fun snack & certainly interested the kids sharing the picnic table with us.

I'm really excited to see the recipe for the Spinach & White Bean Soup. It sounds great!
Chicken feet?? Kudos to you for trying those, Kathy! I draw the line at anything with cartilage.
I'll miss Chef Shack's Indian spiced doughnuts too. Their beet ice cream almost convinced me that I liked beets.
Wow you are brace to try the chicken feet. But if you say they are good, I am inclined to believe you, you have pretty good taste! ;)
Wow KAt- I can not believe you ate chicken feet. Bravo to you.
Hi! New to reading your blog but just wanted to thank you for the heads up on the Kingfield Market. We just moved to Minneapolis and will definitely be checking this market out this weekend if weather permits. I found you by searching for a sweet potato chicken curry as that is what I am probably cooking tonight. Thanks again, look forward to exploring your blog more in the future.
Katie - Welcome to the Twin Cities. We are lucky to be blessed with many great farmers markets here; Mill City on Saturdays, Kingfield on Sundays & the big Minneapolis Farmers Market all week long.
I'm not a fan of chicken feet - not enough meat to make them worthwhile! The tongue tacos sound good though.
