- EddieEngineers 3y agoYeah I know, it was just so crazy I wanted to mention it somewhere and this post worked lol. Fwiw it was from https://www.draegers.com https://www.draegers.com.
- mustacheemperor 3y agoDraegers is probably the most expensive grocery store I have ever set foot in. The one near San Mateo has a crazy wine selection sometimes but I literally cannot fathom buying a week's groceries there. Beautiful produce, but you can get beautiful produce at a farm stand for a couple bucks too. Not sure how to feel about the existence of luxury grocery stores. I'm sure the people who shop there are happy.
- EddieEngineers 3y agoIt's the only place that has guanciale and decent pancetta near me, plus they sell pasta from my in-laws village in Italy, which is fun to cook carbonara with from time to time. They also sell wagyu which is hard to find in the Bay Area! I absolutely would never ever do my actual weekly shopping from there!
- mustacheemperor 3y agoSpeaking as someone who spent an hour last week fruitlessly looking for pancetta that wasn't factory packaged in plastic, you raise a good point!
- EddieEngineers 3y agoCheck it out! It's really quite good - comes in a proper slab you cube yourself. They also have some pretty nice American Wagyu steaks around the $30 mark which I've been using for yakiniku parties (thinly cut and cooked on a grill in the middle of the table)! As long as you want something semi-specialist they're great but general items like chicken breasts or broccoli are just mental.
