What’s Your Market Place?
With Thanksgiving around the corner, we’re moving into the season for entertaining, which means stocking up specialty foods for feasts and parties. I’ve been missing Sickles and Delicious Orchards– my go-to specialty markets from growing up in Jersey. Chefs have their go-to markets they’re sentimental about, too. Here’s a few to choose from, near and far.
Suburban Trading– Robert Wiedmaier, Marcel’s and Brasserie Beck
Woodland’s Market– Michael Mina, Bourbon Steak
Whole Foods– Ris Lacoste, Ris; Cesare Lanfranconi, Spezie
H Mart/Super H Mart–Matt Hill, Charlie Palmer Steak; Tom Power, Corduroy; Michel Richard, Citronelle and Central; Laurent Lhuillier, Windows Catering; and Jeff Buben, Vidalia and Bistro Bis.
Eddie’s of Roland Park–Cindy Wolf, Charleston
Common Market–Bryan Voltaggio, Volt
I LOVED Delicious Orchards growing up – their cider doughnuts still hold a special place in my heart after a dozen years of living here in DC.
To this day, my parents still go apple picking every fall and end the day with a trip to Delicious Orchards for pumpkins, pies, and baked goods.
Thanks for the fond memories!
And the only place to get a Christmas tree was totally the Hacienda!
I second and third Sub*Urban. Once they get more prepared foods in the pipeline, it’ll be even better. I am obsessed with their all-butter puff pastry dough.
