Maybe you are not one of the anointed ones who can afford to spend $4.00 on a bunch of beets, or are able to pay five or six times for tomatoes than I do. I avoid the Valley like the ebola, and it was just plain weird that I found myself in that area yesterday on a work assignment. Although I am a Los Angeles Native Son, I have not spent much time in the Valley at least since the late 1970's and the early 1980's. I remember going to Phases Nightclub, Gozilla's in Sun Valley, as well as the now defunct Busch Gardens and other landmarks long gone. I have gone to the Valley maybe three dozen times since 1986, mostly to eat Middle Eastern food.
The Valley of the 1970's is a blurry figment of our lame memories. It has instead become this giant, decaying shithole with traffic and super global warming. But there is the occasional gem of a place like Super King.
If you are a vegetarian, you would be surprised at how many meals you can buy at this market for 20 bucks. I figure about nine (9) meals, and gourmet ones at that.
Asparagus: .99/lb. green, fresh, and identical to the 2.99 asparagus at Von's
Cluster Tomatoes .59/lb instead of 1.59 at Ralphs
Beets (small red) .79 per bunch
Dill .50
Persian Cucumbers .59/lb
Italian Squash 1.00/4 lbs
You will find all kinds of other great stuff such as dried fruits, nuts and seeds. I was totally impressed with this market. It would be worth the drive from K-Town. High praises!
