When you walk into the 5th Earl Market(or the Earl as I call it) you get smacked in the face by the unbelievable personality and design. "This used to be OZ Pizza", I tell the Hellcat. David Bressler and Brian Falcon teamed up two years ago to develop the concept for the 5th Earl Market. If you walk around the restaurant you can see where the inspiration came from for this project. There are photos of meat and cheese shop taken in London, Scotland and the British Isles. Walking around the back to the bar there is a very quaint and comfortable bar that blends perfectly with the dark colored wood. You get the sense of family and friends when you take a seat and start sipping on that Highland Gaelic Ale.
The menu is comprised of sandwiches: hot, cold and paninis which all have great flavor and consistency. The drive behind the menu seems to be healthy and good for the heart which is a welcomed vernacular for today with no trans-fatty acids and foie gras. There are the crowd favorites: The Moat, Viggiano, Sir Bacon and their version of the Reuben. Every time I venture to the Earl, I always look toward the Reuben, the sauce is the key with capers and pickles tossed in their house made Russian Dressing. The moat is also a tasty treat. Beautiful crock pot brisket in their special tomato sauce which once cooked for hours is then pulled apart and tossed with BBQ sauce. Then, the sandwich is topped with David Bressler's "Not famous yet but soon will be", white BBQ sauce. It has my vote!!
One thing not to forget when you venture to the 5th Earl is that they are a market serving the finest cheese, meats, sauces and other neat little snacks. So make sure when you are ordering that Reuben or Moat, that you check out the case for some other lunch treasures, they won't dissapoint!! If you see David or Brian make sure to say hi and you will see the true personality of the 5th Earl Market.

There is also an array of desserts from a local pastry chef I know only as Lane. She makes these melt in your mouth chocolate and vanilla cupcakes.......tasty tasty. An over sized caramel cake, amaretto cake and some homemade chocolate chip cookies loom large in the dessert case.
