Zimmern and Tooker Team Up To Battle Fast Food Fueled Aliens

 Or something like that.

For a while there, a visit to the Crescent City Farmer's Market at the American Can Company was a mainstay on my weekly calendar. Usually by Thursday, the cupboards and fridge were running a little bare, and a quick trip to the market to pick up something to cook and a bottle of wine made perfect sense. For one reason or another, those visits waned in frequency before ultimately stopping. Which reminds me, I need to start doing that again.

Tomorrow at the Mid-City location of the Crescent City Farmers Market, Andrew Zimmern and Poppy Tooker will be demoing shrimp etouffee. Their delicious dish will be available with a donation to the Crescent City Farmers Market Community Programming Fund. The fun starts at 3 p.m. More info in an officially looking statement. 

• What: Join James Beard Award-winning TV food personality Andrew Zimmern of the Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern" and MSN's new "Appetite for Life with Andrew Zimmern," and WWNO "Louisiana Eats!" host Poppy Tooker as they cook up shrimp etouffee for the crowd at the Mid-City location of the Crescent City Farmers Market (3700 Orleans Ave, in the parking lot of the American Can Apartments) Thursday, January 26, beginning at 3pm. Tastes of the authentic New Orleans dish will be given in exchange for contributions in any amount to support community programming at the Crescent City Farmers Market. Watch Zimmern and Tooker shop for ingredients directly from local farmers and fishers at the market, then learn how to make the iconic dish. The free event will be recorded for an upcoming episode of the new MSN web series "Appetite for Life with Andrew Zimmern" and Poppy Tooker's "Louisiana Eats!" radio program on WWNO 89.9FM.
