Eath Fare, Downtown - Re-opened

I grabbed some stuff to go at this supermarket between downtown and the hospital (South Orange) today at lunch. I was under the impression that it was a vegetarian fast casual restaurant. It is more like a Lucky's or Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. It is in a brand new apartment complex called Novel. It has been open for a month. It is out of NC and has locations there and SC and GA and KY... and one in Lake Nona and one coming to Winter Park. I thought it was interesting. Some good values. It's a white privilege type store. Fill your own (bottle) honey, soy sauce, agave syrup, vinegar, etc. Gumball type offerings of nuts, beans, etc. Trendy frozen foods, et al. Earth friendly cleaners, hygiene products, etc. Craft beer and wine. Salad bar. Olive bar. Soup bar. I found the prices on certain items that I passed by (cured salmon, whole roast chicken, etc) to be better than Publix and even Winn Dixie. The chicken was only $5. The salmon was $5 as well. I grabbed a chicken salad sandwich (cranberries and pecans) on their fresh baked baguette for $5 (take that Sub-waste) and a two slice pizza deal for the same $5. I haven't tried the sandwich yet, but, they jammed it with salad (at least twice as much as anywhere else) and they had better toppings (ie sprouts). They had eight or so different options at that price. All beat the fast food sandwich pricing levels. And they didn't just put their cheap meats options at that price. A price that beats their low price point in any event. The pizza was fresh from the oven, huge and good. They use a better (less salty) cheese than most American pizza parlors. It was a bit "cracker-y" for my liking, but, still a bargain. The sauce was nice. They have a seating area where you can eat. And many lunch options besides the ones described. If I lived near by, I would be here all the time. Good pricing. Differentiated selection. Fresh products. Good in store, free parking. Nice atmosphere. Rewards program. It's a nice place to shop or lunch (or dinner). More than fair. Should we be planning another going away party for Winn Dixie?

*I had an interesting product in Buhl ID at a fast food place called Arctic Circle. Finger steaks. They individualize chicken fried steak into "fingers" and fry them off. Not ground breaking, but, a nice change from nuggets.
