I'm gonna have to say Whole Foods too; I don't go there for everything (too pricey) but I often go there to graze from their salad bar. I am a lazy shopper and like their pre-made stuff that I can just grab and eat. I always wind up buying way more than I meant to. Though Trader Joe's is coming in a close second these days.
Thanks for the cupcake blog shoutout (I'm one of the editors). I live in New York so am not the person to ask about LA cupcakes but can direct you to the Los Angeles Cupcake Meetup Group (meeting at Lark this Sunday, June 1st, I'll be there too)
and Cupcake Fetish, a cupcake bakery review site:
Garlic. (My answer to many things!)
I haven't had champagne in ages but I'll have to go with chocolate (then again, I'd eat chocolate with most any drink).
I haven't had the Ben & Jerry's Cake Batter ice cream, but last weekend I was in Atlanta at Irwin Street Market and had the pleasure of tasting red velvet cake ice cream from Jake's Ice Cream and OMG. It was beyond delicious - the vanilla ice cream was a very creamy, rich perfect one and the cake had big chunks and tasted fresh, not overly soggy. I had gone there specifically to try a cupcake bakery called Sweet Pockets and wound up simply wanting more ice cream!
Any kind of good omelet, with home fries!
Ham, a thick bread, and any kind of melted cheese.
Boring, but true: BBQ!
Cheddar, the sharper the better

i shop at albertsons because they have a lot of good sales
I love Henry's market in San Diego. It's close to my house, they have great deals on local fruits and veggies, and they have $3 bottles of wine. Awesome.
Central Market in Houston - great prepared food and basics at good prices
I usually shop at the new Super Walmart purely because they just opened a store a mile from where I work. My favorite supermarket is Trader Joe's, but I don't go but a few times a year since 45 minutes is too long to drive to get up there. I have a feeling that I would like Whole Foods a lot too if I ever go to one, but the nearest one of those is at least an hour away.
Vons is my favorite store. They usually have the things I need on sale and they still double coupons. The fruits and vegetables are high quality which you can't get in the discount stores. The meat is fresh and there is a nice assortment.
We recently moved to West Virginia, which has stunning natural beauty and the nicest people on the planet...but the grocery stores here are terrible. Locally, my only choice is an IGA. My favorite all-time grocery store was Wegman's, which I used to be able to visit when we lived in Virginia.
Here in Texas, I love HEB. They have a great wine, health food, bakery, deli and sushi section. I can get almost anything there and the people are awesome!
I love Lunds/Byerlys, a local store. Great products that you can't find elsewhere. Plus, the stores are always very clean.
