This morning I ventured over to the Whole Foods in Lincoln Park Chicago for some food. Normally I go to Trader Joe's because it's really reasonable and my boyfriend and I are on budgets, but Whole Foods just has some food that we like better sometimes: think Nut Thins and Gluten Free pancake mix!
So, this morning, bright and early (aka 10am), I drove myself on over to the nearest Whole Foods and went shopping for our food for the week. I love the Whole Foods by me in the suburbs, so I couldn't wait to go. They even had free parking, which is a total plus, (although so does Trader Joe's), but, still, I was very excited.
Fast forward to actually walking into the Whole Foods. Oh My God. The place was like the mecca of all grocery stores and food courts combined. There were more aisles and pathways than I could count, sample stations, and everything looked beautiful. The fish section actually had whole fish on hand, which the one out by me definitely does not have and it was so cool to see! It reminded me of Europe!
The cheese station actually had whole wheels of cheese in shelves just waiting to be sliced, rows of delicious wine and even a wine bar!! They had a WINE BAR in the middle of this store! Actually, they had entire food stations throughout the whole building: a wine bar, a coffee shop, a pizza and sushi station, an "american fair" station, and then the standard salad bar, olive, soup and even trail mix station! I could have just eaten my way through the place and bought all my meals for the day, freshly prepared! And, in all reality, if I had taken my boyfriend with me we would have spent hours in there because he loves to look at everything in a store, even if it's not something we need!
But yes, here's to you, Whole Foods, for being an amazing indulgence for healthy and organic conscious gluttons. Now, where's my fork...
