This week Laura Avery heads over to the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market to learn more about the flavorful yet underrated shishito pepper with Dawn Birch of Flora Bella Farm in Three Rivers. She then heads over to Wilshire Restaurant to watch Brendan Collins prepare a dish of crispy octopus with shishito peppers, a signature appetizer.
