If you're going to make guacamole, you've got to get the avocados just right! At Sigona's, we always carry ripe avocados, but we also have some that are green and some that are nearly ripe, or breaking, as we say in the biz. Our markets are loaded with fresh, fantastic ingredients and local craft beers for the rest of the spread too -- thin skin limes, fresh cilantro, gorgeous Roma tomatoes, Serrano peppers and more. The Trumer Pils from Berkeley is a solid brew choice for the weekend! If you're grilling, check out the organic, grass-fed beef or the Patagonian shrimp we have at our Redwood City market! Don't forget dippers! We have a special on locally made Casa Sanchez chips for this weekend, and if you're looking for a healthier option, we have a great selection of jicama, celery, carrots and more fresh-veg dippers. Visit us in Redwood City, CA, or in Palo Alto in the Stanford Shopping Center. Take note, only the Redwood City market carries meat. #thebiggame #football #snacks #grassfed #grassfedbeef #beer #craftbeer #guacamole #salsa #chipsanddip #avocados #local
