Whole Foods Salad Bar

Though the NYSun has claimed that the salad bar at whole foods is unhealthy in excess (what isn't) I still love myself some quinoa with grilled tofu and brown rice.

That disgusting looking pile of tofu, chicken, egg salad, bleu cheese, roasted red peppers, quinoa and lo mein was actually quite tasty. Though this is probably what the NYSun means about the salad bar not being healthy in excess, it never hurts to take one for the team, or in this case, the blog.

Told You!

I'm hoping this article will be a wake up call to plenty a parent.

Clearly Whole Foods isn't the be all end all for great, local, organic food. Go to your farmer's markets, develop relationships with local fishmongers and butchers, and you will definitely be better off.

Top Chef

Top Chef is my jon. Translate that to English and you have "I love Top Chef." I however, wasn't too fond of last night's episode which started with the contestants making Uncle Ben's microwave rice and concluded with them making $10 family meals. Ultimately Mark was sent home due to some lackluster vegetable kerry (curry in American accent).

Why didn't I like it? What's wrong with a family meal challenge? Aren't I a family guy? Um, of course, but I don't want to see $10 meals when I watch a show who's ultimate goal is to find a "Top Chef." I want to see heavily refined, well, not necessarily refined (depends on your style) but food that was painstakingly created and clearly shows the chefs potential. Uncle Ben's microwaveable rice! Come on!

I also can't believe that the chefs just used $10 to create a four person meal, and went to Whole Foods to shop! What food store on earth is more notorious for being overpriced? Ok, maybe Williams Sonoma but that's more appliances. Though Whole Foods usually has good quality products, I would definitely not reccomend it to someone on a budget. Anyway, next episode should be exciting. We will talk more then.
