for the last month i have enjoyed a weekly hearty helping of authentic sudanese food at the salt lake city farmer's market. every saturday pioneer park plays host to a myriad of vendors, craftsmen, and artists in a true community event. among these booths lies the story of a sudanese woman; a refugee with a dream. every saturday she wakes up before the sun, sets up her portable kitchen, and cooks up a cultural fare good enough to become a weekly tradition...okay, maybe even addiction. her story is as interesting and compelling as are the flavors from her homeland, infused with the hope she has for life, and a love for sudan she shares with a new, and appreciative crowd.
her dream: a restaurant. and she is close to seeing that dream become a reality. last week i took the opportunity to document her food-booth process for a class project, and found that nearly every customer asked where her restaurant was located. unable to give an answer just yet, she hands out her catering business card and informs them she is searcing for the right location.
in the meantime, the farmer's market ends october 20th, leaving only 2 more chances for this month's culinary experience.

Wow, I'm sad I missed out on this, it sounds fabulous. I hope to catch the food next year and hopefully by then there'll be a restaurant in the works.
