Chicago French Market, Chicago Third-generation market owners hailing from Paris—the force behind hundreds of markets including the Marché Saint Quentin and Marché Passy—added this market in Chicago’s West Loop to their roster in 2009. The Bensidoun family enlisted French merchants like Vanille Patisserie and Flip Crêpes as well as Saigon Sisters for Vietnamese pho and banh mi sandwiches, Bebe’s Kosher Deli for matzoh ball soup, and Raw for vegan pizzas, pastas, and muffins. You’ll find this smorgasbord within the Ogilvie Transportation Center, one of the nation’s busiest commuter train stations (7,000 visit the market each weekday). Lunch Pick: Montreal-style pastrami on rye at Fumaré Meats & Deli. The meat is cured, smoked, peppered, and slow cooked on the premises daily.
