Jungle Jim’s market basks in the glow of national acclaim
The January-February edition of Saveur Magazine — which includes the cover story entitled “The Saveur 100 Home Cook Edition: Recipes and revelations from kitchens around the world” — offers up a tasty little shout-out to Jungle Jim’s International Market in Fairfield.
The magazine calls Jungle’s “a 300,000-square-foot culinary theme park complete with a fish farm and a full-service butcher counter that offers just about every meat imaginable, including lambs’ and cows’ heads and kangaroo. Vast sections of the store are dedicated to Latin American, Indian, Phillipine, and kosher goods.”
This isn’t the first time Saveur has taken notice of southwest Ohio’s epicurean excellence. Just six months ago, in the June-July 2008 issue, Saveur sang the praises of Mike-Sell’s Potato Chips and the Pine Club restaurant.
Savvy Saveur.

I haven’t been to Jungle Jim’s in a year or so but their beer selection in times past was nothing compared to that of Belmont Party Supply here in the Gem City. But JJ’s has so many other strange and wonderful things that it doesn’t matter. What I can’t understand is how they manage their inventory. They must have more money tied up in hot sauce and olive oil alone than an average Kroger has in the entire store.

Jungle Jim’s is a neat place. Well worth the drive. Top it off with a visit to Dave and Busters. At least Dayton is close to a real city.
