“we started out at one popularrestaurant sampling cheese infused biscuits, and our tour guide, Bob Williams, gave an extensive history of the market. As we walked from one end of the market to the other,, we sampled many specialties, including clam chowder sandwiches, rockfish salmon, sorbet and truffle infuse sauces. Bob was knowledgeable about the entire market and told us what to come back and explore more thoroughly. It was great.”
