It is a remarkable place for the way it functions as both an international market and a gourmet market in one weirdly seamless fell swoop. I'm always surprised that it hasn't gotten more national attention, though I did see it made the most recent Saveur 100 list. Are there any other markets like it in the country? The only one that comes to mind is the Berkeley Bowl in the S.F. Bay Area; it's a fine place, but not as strange and sprawling as DeKalb. Others like Reading Terminal Market in Philly and Eastern Market in D.C. seem more like Atlanta's Sweet Auburn Curb Market, but with more bustle.
