Trust a man with an epic mustache.
Made a stop here to pick up ingredients for a Middle Eastern lentils and rice dish; Mustache Man taught me the name of the dish in Arabic and gave me detailed instructions on how to cook it. He recommended the best bulk rice (basmati) and the best bulk lentils (green) for the dish and now I just want to stop in casually to ask him how his weightlifting is going!
The sliced almonds I bought at Salem's in North Oakland had bugs in them; The ones I bought here did not. Another plus.
