"A national grocery chain recommended as one of the retail destinations where shoppers might find ramps during their brief season, alongside farmers’ markets and other specialty produce sellers." - Bettina Makalintal
"Portrayed as a source of specialty cheeses that can be relatively pricey—to the point that three blocks of their cheese are compared unfavorably on cost to a small tin of domestic caviar—making it a less economical way to achieve the same high‑impact impression at a party." - Lesley Suter
"I point out that this national supermarket chain is also experiencing heavy demand and social-distancing-related impacts like limited hours, frequent sellouts, and delivery delays." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A grocery-store source for the interviewee's preferred store-brand crunchy, unsalted almond butter, which she and her husband each keep their own jars of and often eat straight from; she also uses almond butter in a go-to tamari–Sriracha–lime–honey sauce for noodles, bowls, and salmon." - Daniela Galarza
"A national grocery retailer commonly associated with organic, locally sourced, and higher-priced products, it is cited as one of the primary retail outlets for the kind of “clean” food championed by slow-food proponents; because its locations and price points tend to skew toward wealthier, predominantly white neighborhoods, it can contribute to limited access for lower-income communities seeking those same options." - Suzanne Zuppello
