Sweet Potato Fries -- Who Likes These Things?
I been a bit busy lately so I haven't been able to get my daily dose of Adam's words but now that I have I'm sorry to say that I might have to stop being your friend Adam....I LOVE SWEET POTATO FRIES!
Great Tips on Choosing Rotisserie Chicken
My local D'Agostinos makes excellent rotisserie chicken - very juicy and tasty. I agree, you have to go when it's peak shopping times - they'll have every row of the oven filled up with birds and they can't cook it fast enough for the customers waiting on line at the deli counter to snap them up as soon as the timer goes off and the ladies take them off the rods and pack them in the containers. I notice during non-peak hours there might be just 2 or 3 dried looking birds spinning around. They make really good Italian and Spanish spiced ones also. And with my Dag points I can get a whole cooked chicken that will last at least two meals for less than 5 bucks!

It is gorgeous! I hope it comes out in the market some time.

Does Your Grocery Store Have You Crying Tears of Joy?
I'm a die-hard city girl but then I went upstate for college to Buffalo. To this day the one thing that really makes me reconsider life in the 'burbs is the possibility of shopping weekly at a Wegmans (Tops was also great but only the International Tops). Yes, I know - I'm a little pathetic...

We're Giving Away a Truly Great Steak This Weekend
Del Frisco's New York - if you have the money to splurge then this is the place to get your steak. I start with the fried oysters and the mountain of onion rings to accompany a couple of cocktails. The rib eye with the skillet potatoes and onions, sauteed mushrooms and spinach sides get washed down with Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon for dinner. The meat is juicy and the portions are huge. By the end of the meal I'm always so stuffed I never get to dessert.
Where to eat in Italy? Can anyone recommend good trattorias?
I agree, I will be in Florence and Siena in September also and love The Food Lover's Guide to Florence. She also has a blog now and there are some updates to the book on it. It's worth getting if you will be in the Florence area for a bit.

what a little cute elephant over-the-top of purple cap... imagine, every time you cook you may say and give its name, "hi bimbo it's cooking time!" (the eagerness to cook) or joking around with your friends, tell them while having a dinner that the food you cook was used from an elephant oil obviously their reaction was no way but you should clear it...
AWESOME CAP!

One comment I did not see is that, for a diabetic like me, regular potato fries are a no-no (what with the high glycemic index of potatos). However, sweet potato fries are actually tolerable from a blood-sugar perspective. Something to keep in mind...

@edoc918: Late posters always welcome! I liked Publix when my parents lived in FL and I visited. Reminded me a bit of Wegmans.

I guess I"m a late poster - but when we lived in MN, Kowalski's is the absolute bomb. Unbelievable selection, best produce, meat & cheese, great service, their deli was awesome - and they were open 24 hours.
I'm back in FL now, so Publix is #1, with Sweetbay running a close second. The butcher at Publix deboned our duck, chicken and goose for Thanksgiving for FREE.

I heart Shop-rite - from Jersey, Shop-rite every Saturday from earliest memory. Good times : ) When the one nearby shut down, my dad elected to drive to the nearest one, which is about 5 miles further, instead of go to other supermarkets.
At school in upstate NY - Wegmans rocks - can't get McVittles anywhere else, or kumquats...

While Wegman's is a great grocery store, I find my local Super Fresh to be No 1 for customer service, bar none.
When they were recently out of whole fryers at 69 cents, (can't beat that), the meat cutter went back to the deli counter and pull out a fryer from the refrigerator and wrapped and priced it for me. That was the best tasting fryer I have ever eaten.
It's the little things like store prepared gourmet apple pies, fresh from The Farm produce, (their potatoes are the best tasting ever), seafood, and my all time favorite tasting beef, Premium Gold Angus.
For a supermarket that has been business now for 150 years, its all about the quality, value and customer service.

I'm surprised that no one from the San Franscisco area has mentioned Andronico's. When visiting our daughter in Walnut Creek, we we visited one and thought it a wonderland of food of every kind.

LOVE my WHOLE FOODS!

I feel like somehow i've been living on another planet, one without a Wegman's. I've never even heard of it. Here in Michigan, we have Meijers and I love it!! The one in my neighborhood has the most wonderful produce department of any store in the county. I am a fresh fruit and veggie addict, and when I go to Meijers, everyone working in the produce knows me by name and they never fail to wave and say hi. I have been a faithful shopper there since they opened about twenty years ago. I buy very little at deli's but it's a nice one. For the best deal on canned goods tho, I go to Aldi and save at least half of what I would spend at any other store. Clean store with wide aisles and a good selection at 39¢ to 89¢ a can, and a GREAT frozen section. I do buy some veggies there too because it is quality and quantity all at a low price. But Meijers? I would cry big tears if they closed up.

I work at the Home Depot across the street from the Wegmans' in Downingtown, PA, and have been eating lunch or dinner there for the past three years. My only disappointment during all that time was once I had some rotisserie chicken that was a little dry ... Try the Lobster Bisque, it is amazing !!!

I lived in Rochester for a couple of years, and it's Wegman's that I miss the most. There are few other places like it, though Harry's in Atlanta comes pretty close.

it's Whole Foods only for me.. no one beats them in quality and standards..
i know i can walk into any Whole Foods and no matter what i pick up, i know it's been reviewed and approved to not contain anything artificial and no artificial trans fats.. and i know that any animal products there were produced humanely, no antibiotics, hormones, animal byproducts, fed all vegetarian diets.. it's just nice peace of mind to shop in a place like that, they actually care about what they're selling you
not to mention the great customer service.. they go above and beyond compared to other grocers to help and satisfy the customers
and as long as you're able to restrain from throwing a bunch of the more extravagent items they offer and just shop as you would if you were in a regular grocery store, you can find plenty of great value.. love Whole Foods

Harris Teeter is a Wegman's "wannabe"... and I wish it was a "is-a-be". But here in Southern Delaware, it's the best thing since ... well, sliced ... you know.
And my wife works at Harris Teeter! We did visit the Wegmans in Hunt Valley MD on one of our "let's be a tourist" days. Wow. But for now, we're very happy Harris Teeter is in the area.
When will these "regional" stores realize they have fans everywhere. Blow a few $Mil on developing/opening a store and see what happens! (Are you listening Trader Joe's and In-and-Out Burger??!! Ooops.. wrong thread!
Go forth and shop and eat and consume! .Brian.

Reading Terminal Market, Philadelphia. I only go to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's to fill in the pantry stock and get everything else at the market. It's fantastic.

I have had the privilege of visiting a Wegmans in NJ and it was beautiful. It reminded me of my favorite grocery store on earth, Central Market, in Shoreline, WA, (pretty much Seattle) not Texas. The produce/meat department takes up what seems to be half of the store. Here's what I love about it: every veggie and fruit you could ask for, low prices, high quality, bulk foods, a wine expert, prosciutto you can read through, bins of clams and mussels, cheese, Japanese candy ... and toilet paper too.
If only I didn't now live three hours from it.
Does Your Grocery Store Have You Crying Tears of Joy?
Wow I would certainly try Wegmans if I could. Here in Colorado we only have Whole Foods which we call "Whole Paycheck" Do I need to tell you why ?

I'm an Adam's Fairacre Farms Newburgh, NY girl. love, love, love it. Their only competition would be Trader Joe's, an hour away in Danbury, CT!

Publix is the greatest store! I have recently moved from the Atlanta area to Minnesota. I absolutely cried when my husband took me to our nearest store. It's a Cub and you bag your own groceries. I miss my Publix people who would always walk my groceries out to the car and load them. I was pregnant at the time but I felt very well taken care of. I miss the subs!
We have Lund's here which has great fish and produce but they are much more expensive than Publix. Publix, please open a store in Bloomington, MN.

That's the Ithaca Wegmans! I miss it so much (I graduated in May) - now I'm in Dallas, TX and completely obsessed with Central Market! I go there almost every day and just wander around, tasting wines and cheeses..mmmm

I discovered Wegmans in Buffalo, by accident! Working in the area at a trade show I went there to get real food for lunch. It was love at first sight. When I moved to Harrisburg, PA, I discovered Wegman's in Allentown. It was about an hours drive but I occasionally made it just to go to that wonderful store and that is where I discovered Lebanon Bologna O M G!!
Something that I haven't seen mentioned here about Wegman's is that it has for many years shown up as one of America's best places to work. The people really do love their jobs, I have had the opportunity to speak with them outside of their workplace and they love it as much as the consumers do.
I live 2 hours Southwest of Seattle now. So I am back in the land of Trader Joes and Everett's Food Emporium, but everything is so far away.
Does Your Grocery Store Have You Crying Tears of Joy?
All the Wegmans in or near Buffalo, NY ROCK! I agree with another poster that the meat selection is often disappointing but everything else is a delight.
