I'm not a condoland dweller so I haven't much felt the lull of this store forcing me to buy buy buy instead of shlepping somewhere a bit cheaper. But I can empathize as it seems like half the downtown core suffers from dwellings nowhere close to a grocery store. That's why we are defined by our grocery substitutes - for me, it's Shoppers. For people in Condoland, it's Fresh and Wild.
Yes, if you're looking for a specialty ingredient you are sure to find it here. But my taste in sleek and glossy fancy marts tends to run more towards your Sobeys Express or Whole Foods. Fresh and Wild would also bankrupt me within four or five visits.
That said, everything in there does look luscious. And when you pick up a package in the more warren-like "perishable" grocery aisles, it seems like every product is an imported brand you've only heard rumors of or something you just saw reviewed on some foodie website. Touche, F&W, touche.
