"Stepping away from the usual plate-side perspective, let's talk about the very bedrock of culinary excellence in the 518 – the exceptional Market Bistro by Price Chopper in Latham. Forget just groceries; this is a sprawling emporium, a meticulously organized universe of ingredients that fuels countless kitchens and, yes, even my own work behind the scenes.
