Magee’s Kitchen, the first eatery and oldest merchant at The Original Farmers Market, corner of at Third and Fairfax, is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a centennial celebration on Friday, Oct. 27.

A cake-cutting cutting ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. with speeches by dignitaries and the recognition of many decades-long Magee’s employees. Among the team members being honored is José Ruiz, who has been carving meat at Magee’s Kitchen for nearly 50 years. Magee family members will greet guests including Phyllis Magee, daughter-in-law of original founder, Blanche Magee, and modern-day matriarch of the business, and Dwayne Call, great-grand nephew of Blanche Magee and fourth generation operations manager of the business.

A special $1 anniversary menu will be available with 12 of the original menu items like Magee’s famous corned beef sandwiches, ham sandwiches (the first menu item served at the Market in 1934), French dips and cheese enchiladas.

A canned food drive benefiting Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition will also be held. For every canned good donated, customers will receive $1 off their order.

Magee’s House of Nuts will offer freshly-made peanut butter for $1.

“It’s difficult to put into words how much our 100th anniversary means to our family,” Call said. “So many businesses have come and gone in the last century, and I can only attribute our success to the timelessness of our traditions. There is nothing fancy about our products. We offer real food, cooked fresh and served with a smile. We are excited to celebrate our 100th birthday on October 27 and hope to remain a Los Angeles institution for 100 more years.”
