Guests can also choose from an assortment of fresh hot foods including roasted salmon, in-house slow roasted pulled pork with signature sauce, Yukon gold mashed potatoes, in-house fried chicken, hot sides and much more. All items are created with distinct flavors, fresh ingredients, and recipes uniquely developed by The Fresh Market.
