π USC Wednesday Trojan Farmers Market Must-Visit Stalls! β¨
Tired of dining hall food? No time to cook? Waiting for delivery takes too long? π€ Then come check out the USC weekly food market every Wednesday! π Every Wednesday from 11:00 AM β 3:00 PM, the Trojan Farmers Market takes over the McCarthy Quad lawn opposite Leavey Library. Dozens of local vendors gather here offering everything from full meals, fresh bread, and fruits to handmade silver jewelry! β¨ Our Handpicked Stall Recommendations β¨ 1οΈβ£ Thai Stall (right in front of Leavey entrance) Their Pad Thai is stir-fried fresh to order! You can choose chicken or shrimp, or just noodles β slightly sweet and super chewy! π They also have seasonal mango sticky rice now, plus curry rice and Thai milk tea! π§ 2οΈβ£ Hawaiian Style BBQ (to the right of the Thai stall) My first time trying Hawaiian BBQ was here in the US β and it totally hit the spot! π₯© Thereβs often a line, but it moves fast. You can watch the grill masters work their magic behind the counter. Choose mild or regular spicy sauce β the charred, tender chicken over rice is absolutely addictive! π€€ The classic combo comes with macaroni salad, but you can also go for rice + meat. Donβt miss the Spam musubi (Hawaiian spam rice ball)! 3οΈβ£ Teppangeles (right next to Hawaiian BBQ) All proteins here are grilled fresh after you order, so expect a 5β10 minute wait. π€ππ₯© It might look like simple shrimp/salmon/beef, but once grilled with garlic sauce β itβs incredibly fragrant! Highly recommend the salmon rice bowl β way better and more affordable than other spots! π€« 4οΈβ£ Fresh Orange Juice Stand (at the diagonal intersection of McCarthy Quad) A $5 cup of fresh-squeezed OJ that I grab every week β squeezed right in front of you! π To the left of this stall, youβll find fruit vendors with super sweet strawberries and blueberries. Buy a bundle of three fruits for a discount! ππ« Besides these, thereβs gelato samples, baguettes, all kinds of bread, pasta, sauces, and more waiting for you to explore!
