East End Market Grand Opening – A Photo Tour

East End Market is a neighborhood market and cultural food hub inspired by Central Florida’s local farmers and food artisans.

Located in the Audubon Park Garden District of Orlando, Florida, the two-story structure is home to a dozen merchants, a large event space, a demonstration kitchen, an incubator kitchen, offices, retail shops, a full-time, award-winning caterer and a world-class restaurant.

There’s a lot to love about East End Market – the vibrant atmosphere, culture, and unique merchants. The market seems to have sparked wide-spread community support with endless visitors entering the building throughout the day.

After much excitement for one weekend, East End Market announced that they will be closed for the rest of the week and will be open again on Saturday, November 2nd at 10:00AM.

When simple is good. Shannon and Janice Talty created the Olde Hearth Bread Company in 1998.

Txokos Basque Kitchen
Michele Salgado: michele@thespanishrivergrill.com
Founded by James Beard Award Nominated Chef Henry Salgado and his wife Michele Salgado of Spanish River Grille, Txokos Basque Kitchen is one of the few vendors still under construction at East End. A Txokos (cho-kos) refers to the underground gastronomic clubs that emerged in the Basque region of Spain during the Franco regime. Not allowed to enjoy their language, customs or food, the men would gather secretly to cook, speak their native tongue and sing their time honored songs together. Today the Basque country is recognized not only for its rich culture and heritage but for its outstanding food and creative chefs. With an open kitchen, and an Asador for grilling, Txokos Basque Kitchen will celebrate the proud spirit of this special part of Spain with food that is both traditional and fresh. With a year round growing season, Txokos will source as many ingredients as possible from its East End Market neighbors and from the abundant and talented local farmers in Central Florida.
