Franko night market started just in time for summer in Hobart and I am here. For. This. Market. It's a new venture for the crew behind the Farm Gate Market, so I shouldn't really be surprised that I'm into it, because we all know I'm a Farm Gate fanatic--when I can get out of bed early enough. Which isn't often. And now I don't have to, because of the night market? Am I in heaven?
It's not all the same stalls, of course--no fruit and veg or fresh produce like you get at Farm Gate, all just booze and ready to eat food. I have yet to go past the Pad Thai from the thai street food stall, despite their ridiculous queue process (line up forever to order, then wait another 15-30 for your fresh meal; I honestly think I waited longer to order than I did to pick my food up on my most recent visit). I have also yet to go past the Spirit People cocktail stall, despite their silly pricing (I am weak, ok, I see cocktail I must cocktail). Ask any local who's been to Franko and they'll have their own must-get item to recommend you. Here you go, you've already got mine. See you there.
