"This Asian specialty grocer sports a food counter in the back where the cooks serve what is possibly Chicago’s best papaya salad — totally customizable (that includes the heat level). For those who underestimate this delicacy, Talard shows the dish in a new light forcing tongues to use buds diners never knew existed. The hot bar has other dishes worth sampling, but the papaya salads are truly magical. Check out the market’s Facebook page for daily offerings including noodle soups, eggplant, and more." - Ashok Selvam
