Midweek: Stone House Q and Lucy’s Hummus

October rolled in unseasonably cool, making hot coffee a popular item at the West Nashville Farmers’ Market in Richland Park on Saturday. A few vendors were apparently taken off-guard and shivered in short sleeves. You could say they were doing brisk business. There is still plenty of produce to be had for the season including a bounty of gourds, mushrooms and the return of arugula.

The folks from Stone House Q were giving away samples of their pulled pork at the Farmers’ Market. It’s mellow pork, with a light smoke. The barbecue went well with samples of their corn light bread: tangy, cakey and quite good. They will be opening their restaurant on October 13. It’s located at 333 54th Avenue, just off of Charlotte and just down the street from Richland Park. They’ve been showing off the goods on their Facebook page. Those ribs certainly look good. I’ll be looking forward to tasting them soon.

Lucy’s Kitchen has been selling muffins, cakes and cheese cakes at the West Nashville Farmers’ Market this year. We bought some hummus and found it to be light, almost whipped in consistency, and very fresh-tasting. It seems a bit staid on first bite and then you find yourself going back for more and more. It’s really good. Lucy Rizzo is selling some stuff at Whole Foods. You can check out her website at http://www.lucyfood.com/
