They have an amazing cheese counter too and I love cheese. <br /><br />Bob - it's not necessarily the whole foods I miss, it's the availability of wide variety quality cheese (and the taste testing) that is not cheddar or pre-shredded.Mrs. Smittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190831302454765121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-18280213134332162182010-03-08T13:20:07.604-05:002010-03-08T13:20:07.604-05:00@Mrs. Smitty: Uh, what in the hell is Zingermans? ...@Mrs. Smitty: Uh, what in the hell is Zingermans? Did you later frequent F.W. Woolworths for some hardtack and epsom salts? <br /><br />@Bob: Ron from Parks & Rec, is that you?<br /><br />But yeah, Whole Foods is prohibitively expensive and the Hendersons shop there five times a year if that. The meats do taste markedly better however. Rickey used their stew meat for his recent chili and hot damn was it good. It had marbilization and everything. Mmmmm. <br /><br />Speaking of Whole Foods, there's a great profile on their nutjob owner in a recent New Yorker issue if any of you guys are interested:<br /><br />http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/01/04/100104fa_fact_paumgartenRickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05773465359487671887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-41397522172022510462010-03-08T11:14:31.574-05:002010-03-08T11:14:31.574-05:00"I am so very jealous of your Whole Foods.&qu..."I am so very jealous of your Whole Foods."<br /><br />Ef it. Whole Foods, also known as "whole paycheck" can be replicated by the many health food stores and even organic produce sections at major chains. By wife would disagree but I just cannot justify the expense.<br /><br />BTW - Whole Foods, grass-fed beef is awful. Give me a big, fat hunk of corn fed, artery-clogging cow any day. Their steaks taste like they are seasoned with actual grass.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669616484991718478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-59905409137419680952010-03-08T11:01:16.752-05:002010-03-08T11:01:16.752-05:00I am so very jealous of your Whole Foods.

As a person who got a cheese sampler from Zingerman's for Valentines Day and was excited about it, the "Hot Corner" sounds like my little piece of shopping heaven. And we aren't lucky enough to have a Whole Foods here.<br /><br />(P.S. Wiliams-Sonoma has a pot roast starter too, I'd recommend that too.)Mrs. Smittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190831302454765121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-89131664498772980042010-03-08T10:36:45.497-05:002010-03-08T10:36:45.497-05:00Fuck it, I support the chili starter product-- the...Fuck it, I support the chili starter product-- these chili wars need to end so that we can enter into a new era of peace and love.
