Specialty Foods

Light My Fire
Light My Fire has hundreds (perhaps thousands) of hot sauces from around the world. Ranging from mild and amusing to spicy enough to curl eyebrows, the selection here is so rich and varied that a single selection seems impossible. A posted scale corresponds to the locations of the sauces, rated from 1 (just a little kick) to 10 (you’ll need a large glass of milk to soothe the burn).
 
Restaurants
Stall 336
Moishe's Restaurant
The finest Mediterranean food anywhere, bar none: the gyros are almost too good, the chicken dishes are truly wonderful (try the chicken shawarma sandwich for lunch), the lamb dishes are top-of-the-line and there is a growing contingent of fans who are convinced that the hummus here is the best anybody has ever made.
