While it is true that you can easily go into Whole Foods and drop a couple hundred dollars on designer and organic foods, if you stick to buying the essentials, their prices rival most NYC supermarkets (I can't speak for Jericho supermarkets). It is actually pretty sad, that the prices at Key Food (which services a much more diverse socio-economic group) at times top the prices at Whole Foods. Hey Joel-

It is not that they are always shopping in Whole Foods that is amazing. I understand the concept of a sponsor. If you had continued reading beyond the second paragraph you would have seen that I was actually commenting on the fact that the Whole Foods exterior they show is not the Whole Foods they are shopping in.

Whole Foods - rather like Glad and GE - are the sponsors of the show. Their decision to always shop there (and make sure that the shop's name get's unlimited referencing) is no coincidence. I'll offer you any odds that the opening shot of any scene where the chefs enter the kitchen is a close up of the GE logo. Shameless. Alas, the producers endless commercial requirements mar what is otherwise a very enjoyable show. Wake up kids. Whole Foods – rather like Glad and GE – are the sponsors of the show.

I suspect that some of them have come down with the drop in the value of the Euro, but they are still probably very expensive. I wonder how long they will last in a country where people are beginning to re develop their taste for Spam.
