I may not get to the opening tomorrow. (Or I might, come to think it of it.) But in the meantime, here are some pics of last minute preparation on the Fresh Market building at 54th and College.
It does rock. I went after work yesterday, and it was packed, of course. It's smaller than I expected, but they pack a lot in there. Their produce looks fantastic and very clean; I got some corn and had it with dinner last night, it was good (if not as sweet as the late-summer corn will be).
They had beautiful deli/meat counters that I could barely approach because of the crowds, though I did manage to snag a sample crab cake with remoulade, which was excellent.
I went there in the hopes of finding one thing: the Greek Gods Fig Yogurt that I could previously only find at Sunflower Market (although a REAL Whole Foods would have it). And they had it! It's so delicious alone, or I like to make a dessert with pound or angel food cake, this yogurt, and sliced bananas.
The only area in which Fresh Market may be considered "lacking" is their freezer section; it's very small. But that's more than made up for by the selection of delicacies and their fantastic produce. And my yogurt, woo!
Popped in quickly yesterday and can't wait to go back! Great produce selection and excellent customer service! I was hoping to find Goat's milk and didn't, but other than that it's a big hit with us!
Food, wine, and the restaurant business are passionate topics and we invite passionate response. However, it is our policy to delete blatant personal attacks, profanity laced diatribes, unsolicited advertisements, or inappropriate comments that offer no substantive addition to the conversation. Feel free to offer both positive and negative opinions, but try to only post words you'd say to a person face-to-face, even with cocktails involved.
Review Policy
I am not a paid blogger. I'm not a marketer and do not represent any of the restaurants, chefs, products, or services on which I blog. I don't review for food. I do sometimes attend media events with local food writing colleagues (and will disclose it), but if it's bad, I will say say so (or not mention it at all.) I don't announce my visits. I don't do positive-only reviews. I am not paid by any restaurants or chefs. I do revisits at my own discretion and from my own budget.
