The Original Turkey and Meuller Chocolate Co.

The Original Turkey

After eating at The Original Turkey I had a What About Bob? moment as seen above. If you feel like you need a Thanksgiving Tryptophan fix in August, then head down to the Market immediately. The fresh roasted hand carved turkey will surely make you forget about that guy at the Greyhound Station awkwardly asking you for bus fare to Buffalo so he can be with his wife in labor (If you don’t know what I’m talking about walk past the Greyhound Station next to the market and you'll get a big ole' dose of crazy).  

   
It doesn’t stop at turkey, the menu features… “Steaming hot stuffing, fragrant with celery, onions and spices. Tangy cranberry sauce. Thick slices of freshly baked bread. Giant spoonfuls of real mashed potatoes.  Homestyle gravy, simmering hot.”

The Turkey Steak

I didn’t go to The Original Turkey for one of there many delicious gourmet sandwiches, but I sure left with one in my gut. It was hard to pass over the Dinner Sandwich, packed with turkey, stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, and gravy. I decided to be daring and stare the Philly Cheesesteak gods in the eyes and chow down on the Turkey Steak. The Turkey Steak had no steak but the delicious turkey was topped with roasted peppers and onions, chipotle and provolone. It was great; I would absolutely recommend the sandwich to anyone. My only qualm with the Turkey Steak is that, the turkey was not served piping hot, it was a little cold. It threw me off a bit, but the cheese and chipotle sauce threw it all back together. The sandwich can’t be finished in one sitting, I highly recommend splitting it with a beloved friend.

Mac Attack

For the side I went with a solid mac and cheese choice, something to weigh me down a little more. I got a half-cup for $4, which easily could have been lunch by itself. The macaroni noodles were giant, didn’t make anything taste better I’m sure but I found it remarkable. I’m not a huge mac and cheese guy but this stuff changed my whole perspective on the food. 

Mueller Chocolate Co.

For desert I splurged on Mueller Chocolate Co. This confectionery market marvel makes really good sweets. Customers can try everything from truffles and fudge to cotton candy flavored rock candy or chocolate molded like an ear. I highly recommend the sea salt caramels; I became a better person after eating them. This cute little corner spot in the Market is great for gift ideas and definitely won’t disappoint the pallet.
