Ever since her visit to Paris, your roommate can’t stop yapping about baguettes and fromage. (Bitch.)
Bring home some bacon of your own after a stop at Le Petit Marché. The new Kirkwood “little market,” conceived during the owner’s travels in Provence and Paris, is a traditional Provençal market for the big city.
Marché stocks imports (like Oliviers & Co. balsamic vinegars) along with top local fare (like Decatur’s PotatoFinger chips and Just Add Honey teas). Root the truffle cooler for Kristen Hard’s K Chocolat delights; a global sandwich menu of Cuban pastrami and Chinese chicken salad sandwiches; and open-air coolers stocked with artisan cheeses, salami, and pesto. Go weekends for fresh-baked bread, chef-hosted tastings, and cooking demos.
Try laying that on your roomie. No doubt she’ll oui oui her pants.
Le Petit Marché, 1963 Hosea L. Williams Drive, suite 108, Kirkwood (404-371-9888).
