Who wants a whole foods in Queens or any outerboro? I love those buffet tables they have. I would eat every meal from there, everyday until I die. The Whole Foods on Long Island does not have those buffet tables. And there is only one in Long Island, how is that?
Who else hear loves those buffet tables they have? Are there other shops that have anything in comparison?
There are a few on Long Island, but that doesn't help much if you live in NYC. It probably takes less time and effort to get on the subway and go to one of the ones in Manhattan or Brooklyn.
Whole foods is the modern equivalent of the confessional booth. Upper middle class Americanized consumers go there to buy indulgences to feel better about their existence. It is high moral ground consumerism and it is humbug. In the same way a trip to the confessional would wash the soul of sin now a purchase of organic quinoa garlic chips is a conscience cleansing experience. The folks that shop there pay a huge mark up for their services for products that can be had in urban ethnic markets for half the price with much better quality. My take is that the food at whole foods is retrograde and significantly overpriced.
Whole foods does not work in ethnic urban communities where there is a legacy culinary tradition. Whole foods requires white boy demographic to dominate an area for whole foods to work. Much of the ingredients are not available for ethnic dishes at WF. Whole food appeals to suburban blacks or whites that grew up with with tasteless microwave food or way too much McDonald trash and have now reacted to that culinary abomination by shifting to tasteless organic food.
My advice is go ethnic and go simple and you will find cheap basic ingredients for the most healthy ethnically appropriate diet possible. If you are an American black or an American white or Just spent too much time in the suburbs with an impotent culinary tradition you can start your own tradition by mimicing the culinary delights of the civilized ethnics of the urban areas. That tradition does not include the high-moral ground consumerism of whole foods. Start with a pasta fagioli soup from scratch. Pure fibre packed deliciousness.

This post has as much unnecessary crap in it as most of the food in the low quality grocery stores around the city.

.
Queens still has plenty of the white boys, as does Staten Island. The white Boys in Astoria, Middle Village, Glendale, Ridgewood, Whitestone, College Point, Forest Hills, Rego Park, Woodhaven, Bayside, Fresh Meadows, Douglaston, Woodside, would probably like one.
Would be great to have one in the Bronx..we are set to get a Trader Joe's though this year though!
You guys have one close by in the Ridge Hill mall. They have good sized buffet tables.
