There is an Omaha Steaks location in the Target plaza at Eastern / Silverado Ranch intersection. They have some more expensive meat and chicken. All of which is very good. I've gotta get back over there and do some spending [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

have you ever actually been inside a whole foods? They're in an entirely different league than trader joe's. Generally tend to have a good selection of high-end cheeses (typical cheese counter at whole foods will probably have ~100 cheeses) and a much higher-quality selection of meats. They tend to dry-age steaks on premisis.

On a somewhat similar topic, I have been casually wondering if there were any good stores for a LARGE variety of hot sauces (i.e. Dave's Insanity, various Habanero ones, etc).

I have hit up the Mexican Market on Racnho and got some good sauces there, but was also looking for a variety of the Louisiana genre as well as others.

Safeway. But it may be a local thing.

I'm shoppiong at Whole Foods in Henderson. and I walk right into my friend Doug but literally don't see him because I am trying to find where the fresh aroma of newly brewed coffee is coming from. Doug and I have a laugh and decide to continue shopping together; lucky for us we run into Sublime.

Most single guys go to Whole Foods to buy groceries/pick up chicks. It seems we go there to meet poker players [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

This is actually true? It was the plotline of an episode of The New Adventures of Old Christine a few weeks ago, where she was advised to go to the Whole Foods on Pico in LA to meet men, as Whole Foods was the new "singles bar".

Yep. I got cruised by an Asian mama last night while shopping at Whole Foods Red Rock. Problem is the Whole Foods at Red Rock and Green Valley both seem to cater to affluent families in that community, not singles. Of course my sample size is too small, I just moved here.
