The produce is seriously delicious, the stallholders know their regulars, and the deli section alone justifies the trip. Darren Purchese spent time finding the best of it, then partnered with us to build a hunt through the whole thing.</p> <p>Your physical map is collected at the first stop, along with a hot drink and a deli-style sandwich to set the standard for the day. From there, your map guides you through five stalls in the market, hunting down everything you need to make two of Darren's sandwich recipes at home. Everything is pre-paid, so all you need to do is show up hungry.</p> <p>Back home, Darren walks you through the recipes on video at your own pace, with an optional breakfast sandwich for the next morning, leftovers to use up, and foodie games if the day isn't done.</p>
