Hawkers Market, the monthly underground food market featuring local food makers, celebrated its 1 year anniversary last Saturday night. Founded by Chris Jerome in Vancouver, the goal of the event is to create a opportunity for food vendors to connect with Vancouver consumers. With the success of the Vancouver market, the event has since expanded into locations in Calgary and Edmonton. Every event is full of delicious food, drinks and party music. 

Their anniversary party was a huge success! It was a full house; tickets to the event were sold out!

InstameetVancouver also had set up a table that night for Instagrammers to take beautiful photos of their food with props.

Making their debut at the market was Electric Jelly Doughnuts, which consisted of a 7 person team including Joel Oschendorf of Oxtale, David Mendes of Blue Mule, Vancouver food bloggers The Food Gays and Chris Jerome from Hawkers.

$5 for 3 donuts or $5 for 2 donuts filled with foie gras (fancy!) and you can choose whatever crazy combination of toppings you like to put on them.

YUMMY!
