Heather Marks

Welcome to the eGullet forums, Heather. Can you give us some more details about the products you carry? Your store sounds intriguing. =R= ← Thanks for the invitation, but I think some of the other posters did a much better job describing my store than I would. If you'd like to see what we carry, we do have a product listing on our Web site www.heatandflavor.com, but we're not quite ready for online sales (sometime this year perhaps). We do ship phone or e-mail orders. I'm headed to the Fiery-Foods Show in Albuquerque this weekend to visit vendors and find some new sauces to carry. I'll be sure to report back what's new and "hot"!

Aside from some of the stalls at the West Side Market, some of my favorite ethnic groceries are Lakshmi Plaza on Mayfield Rd. in Mayfield Heights (Indian), Gallucci's downtown (Italian), plus there's an asian grocery at Mayfield and Richmond (can't recall the name). A Mexican grocery just opened up on Mayfield just East of The Greens of Lyndhurst near Brainard Rd., but I haven't had a chance to shop there yet. Downtown, you can find a lot of chinese ingredients at Asia Plaza on Payne Rd. There is also an Asian grocery in the same strip as Lakshmi Plaza and Apna Bazaar (another Indian grocery several stores away from the first). Also, my husband and I own and run a store called Heather's Heat and Flavor at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst (east suburb of Cleveland), selling herbs, spices, hot sauces, salsas, BBQ and other specialty items.
