    @elizap77 thanks a lot. Sendik's is not the place to be day before thanksgiving, Christmas or new years.

    @AJBombers I like hot. I'll give it a try. The Human Torch from Glorioso's is not too hot for me. I order a 6 or 7 at EE Sane

October is Dining Month on OnMilwaukee.com. All month, we're stuffed with restaurant reviews, special features, chef profiles and unique articles on everything food. Bon appetit!

Milwaukee is one of the great, underrated restaurant cities in the Midwest, but there is nothing like a home-cooked meal.

As passionate as they are about dining out, OnMilwaukee.com readers love to prepare food at home and they have a number of great markets at which to shop. The contest for "Best Market" could not have been much closer, but Milwaukee Public Market prevailed in a tight race over Sendik's.

The Public Market features 20 specialty food vendors, with products ranging from bread and baked goods, wine and spirits, candy, cheese, coffee, fresh produce, meat, poultry and seafood.

Sendik's, which has been in business for more than eight decades, provides a wonderful shopping experience at stores in Elm Grove, Franklin, Germantown, Grafton Greenfield, Mequon, Wauwatosa and Whitefish Bay, along with three locations operated by another branch of the family, in Bayside, Elmbrook (124th Street and North Avenue) and on Downer Avenue.

Farmer-My point is that Milwaukee has many markets with so much more to offer. The only way the Public Market could be considered best is if you are limited to shopping in the third ward and have no possible way of reaching a Sendiks, Whole Foods or Metro Market.

If a tree falls in the forest...If no one shops at a market can it be called the best...

If you live in the third ward, do not own a car, bike, scooter or bus pass.....then yes this is your best bet.
