What do you get when a doyenne of the LA underground and her “Free Range Gourmandizer” husband open up a shop? Find out at the grand opening party of Michelle Juliette Carr and Brian Wotring’s fabulously appointed Golden Poppy Market this Sunday, April 10, from 3-7 pm! Located at 1209 Cypress Avenue, this modern bodega offers fresh fruits and vegetables as well as the spices and condiments you need to turn any meal into a delicious creation.
This writer was over the moon to finally source organic rice seasoning — do you have any idea how hard it is to find furikake without MSG and a prop 65 warning? You’ll find all that and so much more at Michelle Carr and Brian Wotring’s emporium of good tastes.
You can also pick up tasty sandwiches and other ready-to-eat foods under their own banner – GoPop! You can even take home a fancy, pre-cooked whole chicken that you can just pop in the oven to crisp. There is a lovely back patio where you can enjoy your treats if you prefer.
“The sexy 1930’s through a 1970’s theme and design vibe was inspired by swingin’ London’s Biba’s Food Hall…As a true Mom n’ Pop operation, Michelle and Brian take great care in selecting organic produce, fresh cut flowers, pantry staples, a wide array of beverages, fine cheese/charcuterie & accoutrement, fresh baked bread by Bub & Grandma.” They also stock nostalgic candy and fine sweets by LA Beat favorites Cake Monkey and Valerie Confections. They also stock household staples and a mini apothecary with a varied array of medicines
Don’t miss the big splashy shindig this Sunday to celebrate the official grand opening of their stylish new Cypress Park grocery store–and you are invited! Enjoy catering by Heirloom LA, Ice Cream Sandwiches from the Coolhaus Ice Cream Truck, a DJ set by Allison Wolfe (Bratmobile, Founding Member of Riot Grrrl), and a Sidewalk Magic Show Performed by Christopher Wonder!
