Spiceman’s FM 1410

May 16, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner 10 Comments


Spiceman's FM 1410

See this storefront covered in bars? Follow me inside and feast your eyes on Spiceman’s FM 1410, a wonderland of exotic produce, herbs, micro-greens, fungi, and yes, spices.

Proprietor Tom Spicer sells to all the hippest Dallas restaurants, and he’ll sell directly to you and me too.

Spiceman’s FM 1410 is located in East Dallas, next door to Urbano Cafe and behind Jimmy’s Food Store. His market is urban, his food seductive.

Depending upon what’s growing out back, his offerings may include Dragon tongue beans, Indian desert celery, fresh green coriander berries, fiddle heads, wild miners lettuce, black garlic and more.

And the ‘shrooms? A dime bag will change your dinner.

No matter what you buy, the Spiceman (as he’s known around town) will send you off with a few of his own favorite recipes.  If you have time to spare (and you will), he’ll sit and gab. He’s a storyteller too.

One more thing—I highly suggest you LIKE his Facebook page. His posts are downright literary.

(He kinda has that Dr. House thing going on, no?)

 

Stop in this weekend. His market is an East Dallas treasure.

    You sure wouldn’t find anything like this in our area. 🙁 You have lots of interesting establishments close to your home. 🙂

      Mark, not THAT kind:) A “dime bag” (as he calls it) of foraged mushrooms will cost you $10. LOL. Well worth the price.

    I wish I lived close enough to stop by there! I love cooking, and it sounds like the Spiceman has some really interesting produce and spices that I would like to try. Next time I’m visiting Dallas I think I’ll have to look him up!
