Right. Right. You know, with your predeliction for Texas hating, I don't know how you can deign to enter a Whole Foods. It was started and is still based in Austin. Along that same grocery vein, Rice Epicurian's from Houston. You might have to start buying your organic papayas elsewhere.
OMG! This bit of news will surely have him foaming at the mouth!
The link motormaker provided (thanks) spells it all out.
I'm guessing that HEB would be the equivalent of Publix here? I consider Publix a "cut above" Kroger - in Atlanta anyway.
That's a fair assessment. HEB generally has excellent quality produce and meat, and the price is comparable to Kroger, but they're typically suburban. That doesn't do me much good. There's a Central Market (a Whole Foods clone owned by HEB) nearby, but places like that are, in my lowly opinion, overpriced status oriented places that sell pate, but not toilet paper. Places like that have excellent wine and beer selections, but who really needs that when I have the central Spec's nearby?
BTW, Spec's = an acre of liquor. As the trite phrase says that everything's bigger in Texas, I do believe that Spec's is the largest liquor store in the world.
Too bad about HEB not doing urban locations. That is one of the reasons I really like Publix. They have really embraced the urban locations here, and some are quite innovative in their designs.
Had to vote other. Never even heard of Krogers, Safeway, Meijers, and Aldi's prior to this thread
