Sorry, no, this isn't what I am looking for. Sure, I know I can get your generic grocery store experience at Safeway, or Lucky, or Nob Hill, or overpay at Whole Foods (now that they are owned by Amazon I don't shop there anyway), but where do you go to get some really fancy stuff? I have found some decent little places in San Francisco that have good cheese and charcuterie, or decent fresh bread, but nothing in the South Bay. In Chicago I knew I could always drop by Mariano's (heard that they went downhill lately, though) or Plum Market, or Pastoral. NYC obviously has quite a few places like Dean and Deluca. Austin has Central Market. What does South Bay have?
- masonic 8y agoI'm guessing you've never been in the deli section of the Nob Hill Foods on Grant.
- Fins 8y agoIs that in SF? We're talking South Bay here. Ones I've visited in San Jose are were extremely underwhelming.
- masonic 8y agoI guessed correctly. Nob Hill on Grant Rd. in Mountain View.
- Fins 8y agoOh. Sorry, that wasn't impressive. For South Bay, maybe.
- borski 8y agoAll due respect, you’re coming off as defensive and dismissive, without stating a single example of what was missing. There are plenty of stores that have incredibly varied selections of “fancy things,” including but not limited to Nob Hill and Mollie Stone’s. I come from NYC, where we had fancier things than you’d find in SF, and the South Bay comes close. SF doesn’t.
