"Evolving from a family fruit-and-vegetable market into a long-standing specialty grocery, this store built its reputation on high-quality produce, cheeses, and interesting provisions and is held up as an example of how time-tested purveyors signal good quality. Historically notable for an early prepared-foods department that transformed leftovers into ready-to-serve items sold by the pound, the shop has been valued by hosts seeking reliable prepared sides and specialty ingredients." - Monica Burton
