Corner Market.... a unique concept located on Greenville Avenue in the heart of Dallas is not a place where I often remember to eat but every time I do, my tastebuds love me. This past week my tummy was interested in something other than my (almost) weekly trip to the Taco Joint... so I decided to branch out. Where to go for a good lunch? That was the question... and while baked goods were also desired where else could we go but Corner Market.
Baked Goods? What? Let me explain. Corner Market is nestled between Society Bakery and Corner Market Flowers. Yes a slightly eclectic conglomeration of businesses, but they work wonderfully. Society is well known in Dallas and throughout the country for its cupcakes and has even been featured in "Bon Appetite" Magazine. And from what I hear with very good reason, though I have yet to try one of these delectable treats. The flower market is quaint and has a good selection... though that isn't what we are here for.
Walking in you are greeted by yummy smells and a clean deli atmosphere. The display case is beautiful and has a wide range of tasty offerings. All the little tables in the snug dining room were filled and everything looked amazing. The beverage cooler has a wide variety of drinks that vary from your normal everyday Coca-Cola to Jones Sodas and homemade juices.
Food. Good tasting... filling, delicious food. This is my second trip to Corner Market... last time I tried the smoked turkey and apple sandwich which was very tasty. This time I was feeling adventurous. Now what I am about to state next might come as a shock to you.... In all my 29 years of life I have never had pastrami. Yes I know this is heartbreaking and I am even more heartbroken that I have wasted these years without it. My choice after much debate.... The Fireball. Here I'll let the picture say a bit before I dig in...
Ciabatta bun... Pastrami... jalapenos.... Swiss cheese.... Tabasco sauce.... lettuce... tomatoes... and one more kind of sauce that is slipping my mind at the moment. All of this added together equals an absolute delicious explosion of taste. AMAZING. I'm pretty sure the pickles are made in house also. It's as wonderful as it looks and I was highly satisfied with my first pastrami experience.
In addition to my sandwich I had also spotted a super large iced cinnamon bun that I absolutely had to have. It was like it was calling my name. And yes I have a picture of that too. ;) A glass of their fresh brewed green tea completed my lunch ensemble.
I told you it was large :D
