PepperPot’s opening marks new shared space concept for Columbia Market House

Like Gypsy Kitchen, PepperPot is open on some days when the market is closed, keeping a Wednesday through Saturday schedule inside the 15 S. Third St. facility. The market's full roster of vendors is open only on Saturdays.

But unlike Gypsy Kitchen, PepperPot does not have exclusive use of the market's kitchen, or the 100 seats arrayed in front of its stand. That's because PepperPot isn't actually an anchor restaurant but instead represents a new effort to revitalize the historic market by offering shared kitchen and seating space to food vendors.
