Whole Foods World HQ

So last week, I finally made it downtown to visit the new Whole Foods Market HQ/Landmark store! Talk about amazing!! Stephanie and I enjoyed fresh chocolate chipotle gelato, cajun crab cakes with chipotle and lemon aioli, citrus smoked salmon with caper and red onion cream cheese on olive crisps, delicious fire baked pizza (she had the greek, I had blue cheese and bacon.) And finally, we had fresh juice. I had the carrot, apple, and orange and felt GREAT all day long.

That was over the course of a couple of days...

We're going back today. What an amazing store! Within the store, there are several cooking stations and food bars serving sushi, breads, soups, bbq, REALLY fresh seafood, sandwiches, pizza, homemade gelato, confections/desserts, vegetarian items, smoked meats from turkey to duck, an awesome meat deli, a cheese counter, juices.... You can eat at one of the stations as you would in a restaurant or you can purchase food and eat outside or even on the roof!

I have been a fan of Central Market (an HEB store) here in Austin, but I have to say that I was even more impressed with Whole Foods. I think it's going to end up as a regular/weekly ritual for me.
