"1"^^ . "Happened upon this place on a lunch with a coworker that was running an errand and I was immediately ticked off: How many of you people knew about this place and didn't tell me?! Earl's is the best! Grocery store and restaurant all wrapped up in one. If I worked near here, they would get all of my money, all of the time! Shoot, they still might!\n\nThe cashier was incredibly helpful. She gave suggestions and explained dishes. I ordered the special (well, one of them. They have a couple different ones a day): the meatloaf sandwich on Texas toast. Gaaaaaaah! It was an open faced sandwich and it was insanely good. I don't even like mushrooms, but I ended up eating those. The tomato sauce was out of this world. They melted a single piece of cheese across the top and it was heavenly. My coworker got the soup bowl with ramen and she loved it! She also didn't share, so I was kind of sad. lol I watched them prepare a couple of other meals since I had never been there and they all looked appetizing. I totally have my eye on the warm bowl for my next visit.\n\nBurnt butter chocolate chip cookie? Hmmm. Don't mind if I do and glad I did! Take my advice and just do it, if sweets are your thing. You know I like treats and this one had that salty sweet combo down pat!\n\nSpecialty grocery items? Yep. Pastries and such? Uh-huh. Ridiculously yummy lunch options? Hells yeah. They even have semi-prepared food you can take home to fully prepare yourself that is already seasoned. I'm so glad I finally stumbled onto this place. Somebody call The Fianc\u00E9 and break the news: I don't know who Earl is, but I'm love with him."^^ . . "4"^^ . "2015-10-17T00:00:00"^^ . "6"^^ . . "5"^^ . .
