This is not an uncommon phenomenon. Sushi chefs in grocery stores are now as common as UFO sitings in rural America.

And speaking of UFOs, I don't see how a list of the best supermarkets can exclude Piggly Wiggly. Its name alone pushes it to the head of the class.

I've lived in the west, the midwest, the south, and the east, and Wegmans is certainly the best grocery I've encountered so far. Whole Foods is not far behind, though.

As others have mentioned, I'm surprised Wegmans hasn't gone beyond the mid-Atlantic. It seems to me that with all of the NY, NJ, and PA retirees in Florida, Wegmans would do quite well in the Sunshine State.

Wegmans is great and I go there every time I visit family back in Rochester, but we have a near twin here called HEB

I've only been to Walbaums, King Kullen, Key Food, C-town, Associates, and thats about it

Out of those King Kullen is my favorite. But my cousin who just moved back down here from Jamestown can't stop talking about Wegmans.

They are good. So are their subs and other prepared foods from their cafe within most of the stores.

When I'm visiting my sister in Santa Monica I'll sometimes go to Fresh Choices, which is, I think, affiliated with Whole Foods. It's just that particular smell of organic produce, high-quality deli meats and cheeses, whole grains and herbs--you know that smell, right? Sort of a savory perfume.

Then I drive over to Von's supermarket to do the shopping.
