What are your favorite specialty food/cooking stores?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Evening Edge is putting together a list of specialty food markets and gourmet cookware stores around Atlanta that are great resources for cooks.
I’ve got favorite places to buy hard-to-find items, or meats raised without antibiotics or hormones, or frozen cheese straw dough that’s as good as what I make from scratch. There are gourmet stores packed with equipment for serious cooks, such as Cook’s Warehouse and Sur la Table at Perimeter Mall, and ones that focus more on fun entertaining accessories, such as Swoozie’s.
If I wanted a wider range of Asian ingredients than I’d find at a mainstream grocer, I’d head to one of Super H Mart’s four metro locations. For British food or specialties from Australia, I’d go to Taste of Britain in Norcross. A co-worker is especially fond of El Valu, with stores in Smyrna and on Buford Highway, for a deep selection of Hispanic items, from Mexico to Argentina.
What are some of your favorite specialty markets that you’d like to share with other Atlanta cooks? Let us know about them here and we’ll try to work them into our directory.
