Giant Artichoke The 20-foot-tall artichoke makes the detour worthwhile. But the farmer's market and deep-fried artichokes make the Giant Artichoke restaurant a nice place to stop and rest on a road trip.

Giant Artichoke At the Giant Artichoke Restaurant (where else?). We didn't have time to stop to eat, but a sign advertises french fried artichoke that can be ordered to go, and can be ordered with espresso.

Giant Artichoke Great stop for fresh fruit and vegetables, and really good coffee bar with lounge-y area.

Giant Artichoke This is me at the biggest attraction of my FAVORITE food! And I had an amazing, all-artichoke dinner there, too.
