Canada's answer to Whole Foods

While in Edmonton, I made my way up to Planet Organic Market. This place has the same flavor as a Whole Foods, complete with lovely prepared foods section. Prices are about the same as home, but as every program manager knows, fresh fruits and veggies are just about the greatest thing you can find whilst far far from home.

Eat Well Guide

Howdy foodie amigos,

I just wanted to share the Eat Well Guide with you: put your city in, it pops out Co-ops, sustainable restaurant suggestions, and pretty much anything you might want to find in the way of sustenance. Happy eating.....

Great Groceries: Wegmans

KN and I found out that taking photos in grocery stores is verboten, so sadly I only have the one illicit photo of the candy display that got me yelled at by a cashier on a power-trip.

If you are at the Embassy Suites Hunt Valley, outside of Baltimore you can enjoy a tasty lunch by simply traipsing over to the Wegman's Grocery near the shopping center across the street. The have anything and everything a hungry PM could want... salad bars, fresh panini bar, greek yogurt, olive bar, cheese case, organic fruit... It's like Whole Foods on steroids. There is an actual eating area in the store, and so many ready-to-eat foods you'll wonder why you ever ate at an Applebee's. Just don't look for wine there, evidently Maryland is one of those states where alcohol sales are restricted to liquor and wine stores only. There are Wegman's in other places (and you should make a point of going to one if you find one), although I think they are limited to the east coast at this point. This one just happens to be right across the street from the hotel.
