| - Whenever I've had a hard day, or need to get back to normal, I love to come here and browse the isles. It sounds really strange, but coming to this super sized Whole Foods is really an experience that will make you feel better after you leave. Although I couldn't afford to shop here every day, there are a couple of things they sell that are worth paying the little extra.
The tequila lime chicken is great on the grill, they have a good selection of Sake, and fresh sushi. Caviar (if you like that sort of thing which I do) a pretty good wine selection, and my absolute favorite Prosciutto de Parma. Nobody in the valley cuts it, or packs it better than here. At Fry's signature, they have a similar product, but the care for the Prosciutto that took 4 years to be made, is handled like you were ordering a half pound of bologna. At Whole Foods, they use butcher paper (which probably weighs more but who cares) and each gossamer thin slice is placed perfectly 2 per paper, and when done, wrapped with a large sheet of paper and nicely folded. Now that fine product combined with a cave aged cheddar, crusty baguette, and a bottle of Hitching Post will have you feeling like your in Napa sipping Pinot with Miles and Jack in no time.
So, the food costs more here. But, that's only because it's more expensive to feed a cow grass than corn. It's more expensive to have hens actually walking around in their natural habitat, rather than stuffed on conveyer belts. It takes time to teach the people in the deli that something that costs $30 a pound should be treated with respect. I know one day I'll have kids, and I'll be complaining about how much everything costs, and how people are crazy for shopping at Whole Pay Check, but truth be told, if money were a no object (like win the lottery tomorrow money), for me Whole Foods would be my 99 and everything else would be 1% of the time.
