OFF DI-VINE INSPIRATION
By Steve Coulter
Every Saturday Angeli Caffé chef/owner Evan Kleiman hosts "Good Food" on KCRW, a one-hour celebration of culinary culture. In a popular weekly segment, Kleiman sends reporter Laura Avery to check in with vendors at the Santa Monica Farmers' Market and see what will soon be cropping up on menus around LA.
"The Market Report" easily dishes out some of the most informative few minutes of radio programming in LA, and it has helped expose countless foodies to the world-class Westside market. But the skyrocketing popularity of both the Wednesday and Saturday Santa Monica markets has left some chefs — and their ravenous devotees — hungry for something a little more low-key.

After stints at New York's celebrated Le Cirque and Osteria del Circo, the New Jersey native moved west in 1996 to work with Wolfgang Puck at the original Spago.
