A culinary adventure awaits
in the MGM!

Dream of browsing the bazaars of Istanbul or lingering through the street stalls of Bangkok, but don’t have the coin for an international spending spree? Forget scrounging for frequent flyer miles – this Weekly Yelp travels to the Midtown Global Market, where a curious combination of culinary treasures is right in your backyard.
Nothing is quite as foreign to the Midwest as the Far East, so ease your way into the diverse and expansive region by checking out Jade, where Alison C tells us great deals abound. “The restaurant offers $2.00 bottled beers and 2-for-1 taps along with a sushi menu and Chinese food.” Meanwhile, Roger M urges you to try Pham’s Deli for a taste of “the best egg rolls in the city hands down.” For the freshest feast, heed his advice: “Go after the lunch rush, so that all your food is made to order.”
Can't to wait for a farmers market? Join Sadie W on one of her frequent shopping trips to Produce Exchange, where strawberries for “a buck a pound” and “a pint of blueberries for only $2” have been spotted – that's no trifle-ing matter! Suffering from a sweet tooth? Swing by Salty Tart where Ashley F shares you can find “pastry genius at a fantastically low price.” The magician behind all the treats was voted Best Pastry Chef by Bon Appétit in 2003, so you know you’re in for an "orgasmic" treat. Gets us hot just thinking about it!
Are firey and savory poblano and ancho chiles more to your liking? Travel with Jen E to A La Salsa and munch on “delicious and relatively cheap Mexican eats in a vibrant setting.” Not only can you order “the standards,” but there are also “a number of options you won't find at more Americanized places.” Gracias, Jen! Of course, if you’re looking to channel your inner Scandinavian, (and who isn’t in the land of everything -son and -sen?) Café Finspang is where it's at. Rhonda G reports that 21 years after moving here she was finally introduced to Finspang's purely "perfect" lingonberry bar. With treats like that available sans international flight, why wait?
