North Market is one of my favorite places to visit in Columbus. Not only do I love markets in general, but this one does it right. There are tons of different stalls, all offering something unique. So, here's a quick look at some stops I didn't hit during my first trip.



American Nut Company has all kinds of popcorn flavors - from jelly bean to dill pickle. I took some parmesan home with me.



Oh my gosh, Hubert's Polish Kitchen! 



I have very little to no experience with Polish food, so this one was really exciting for me.



I went for a whole plate with a very dense pierogi, this giant fried ball of sauerkraut and sausage, and some flatbread. So good and hearty.



Then, I had to go walk some of it off.



We came upon Destination Donut. 



SO many good-looking donuts. 



I loved the fruitier ones - like shortbread streusel with lemon curd and, the one I ordered, lemon blueberry.



Look at that guy! Big, light, and very summery sweet.



Omega Artisan Baking was up next because they had -- wait for it -- a pepperoni roll! 



It had all the right pieces, but was a bit more bready than I prefer. I like the perfect balance of pepperoni rolled with cheese and dough. When there's bread, and an air pocket and a mound of pepperoni, it doesn't get that delicious blend. 



They have plenty of other options - all of which looked delicious.



Finally, I completed my gastronomic tour with a stop at Block's Bagels, which was new to the market. 



It was a no-brainer. I needed that lox bagel. This one had added tomato, which is good, too. Mmmmm so good. 

This, my friends, is the very last Sam's Hot Dog location in West Virginia that I hadn't tried. Welcome to Lewisburg.



Honestly, I'm not sure why I felt it necessary to try all of these locations. It's a West Virginia-based chain, so I get excited about those. But a hot dog is a hot dog is a hot dog. Sometimes.



These hot dogs are not unlike the others - all beef, can get them with chili, or, if you want to be a super plain jane like me on this day - just ketchup. It may have been the sweet taste of victory from completing my challenge - or just a decent hot dog. But this one was good.

First of all, I'm not quite sure why 90% of my photos of the outside of restaurants are messed up. I think I take the photo so quickly, my phone doesn't have time to really capture the whole thing. I swear this is not user error.

Secondly, I love Asian food. All kinds, really. Sushi. Ramen. Americanized Chinese. AND, I have many more restaurants to explore in Beckley. So when Yummi Japan popped up on my radar, it was a no-brainer to go check it out. 



The Philly Roll - crabmeat and cream cheese - is everything my basic heart loves. Guilty pleasure - but very tasty. 



Then, I did a shrimp teriyaki, which was just OK. It was really salty for my taste, and not a ton of sauce/flavor outside of that.



Crab cheese rangoons - always a treat. Maybe this means I should just stick to my guilty pleasures since they're my favorite?

I know it seems like I've been working on this Tudor's tour forever, and that's because I have. Am I tired of Tudor's? Yes, yes I am. But we have to go on. And this day, we visited the Tudor's Biscuit World in Ravenswood, which has a cute modern country exterior with fresh flowers.



The menu is the same, and I've now tried all the biscuits - including each of the different types of ham. So, this one is a shaved ham and cheese. Classic combo. 



It's good, but at this point, I'm allowed to be a bit more picky. I don't want a ton of meat, but I also don't love when it's not full enough that the top biscuit eclipses the bottom biscuit and it's just a big bite of dry biscuit. Not bad; could be better.

Mr. Choo-Choo's Hotdogs made an appearance at Charleston's most recent Food Truck Wednesday. I had never heard of them, so I made the trip to Slack Plaza on Wednesday just to check them out. They have a small cart setup, with a sign out front that led me to them.



They serve all beef hotdogs that are pretty large topped with anything you'd like. I ordered one with chili, slaw, onions and added my own mustard (which is why it's looking a little messy). 



These hot dogs are cooked perfectly where they have that slight char on the outside that makes the skin have a snap. It was also split down the middle, so easier to eat, and the toppings fell into the center. I loved both the chili and the slaw. I mayyy have put too much mustard, but still, really tasty overall. And a nice little change from the regular.
