Few feelings beat coming home after a long day to find that someone considers you deserving of a finely cooked meal. It's one reason home cooking occasionally beats fine dining; it's why I make a point on first dates of mentioning my penchant for grilling; and it's why I enjoy Black Market Bistro so darn much.
Simply put, eating at Black Market Bistro is much like eating at home. Only, most homes don't come with chefs trained in new American cuisine.
