Ethnic food markets: Everybody bok choy tonight
So, you're having a hard time tracking down Asian celophane noodles? Well, who hasn't suffered through that? Got a yearning for yucca? You aren't alone.
And now, thanks to Roanoke Times Food Writer Lindsey Nair and your friends in the DataSphere, it's now a lot easier to scratch those international cullinary itches.
Lindsey's been writing a series of Front Burner columns on the area's ethnic markets the last few weeks, and compiling a list of them, their addresses, phone numbers and what they offer.
She passed her list onto me, and it's now available as a table and map that hopefully not only tells you what's out there, but where to find it.
It's a small but diverse offering of 14 markets with Asian, Mediterranean, Hispanic and other foods. Lindsey's columns offer shopping tips, so give those a read.
And if you know of a market that's not on the list, let me or Lindsey know.
Happy noshing.
