The Best Beef on Weck Sandwich in Buffalo, New York?

Oh how I miss Anacone's! That was always the best beef on weck for me. (Sorry - better wings are to be found in Rochester!)

Is Whole Foods Becoming Costco with a Side Order of Trader Joe's?

As a former long time Wegmans shopper and employee who is now out in Portland (WF, TJ's, Safeway, Fred Meyers, local stores) I still weep whenever I shop in WF & TJ's. WF has lukewarm, hipper than thou service (the plague of Portland) but solid produce and meats. Anything in a cardboard box is bound to cost more and I'm often disappointed by their in house brands. TJ's is very overrated in many areas - does anyone actually read the ingredients on their products? Agreed they have great prices on chocolate and pasta and such, but their produce is usually way over-packaged. Why do I need a clamshell for 4 pears? I also commend Wegmans for having had a very strong 'buy local produce' for many years. It used to be a common practice to have department managers pick produce on a local farm at least once a year.
