Whole Foods Market • Jamboree
I was never all that impressed with the Whole Foods Market located on Newport Avenue. I'd go there to buy a salad and I really liked the selection of high-end beers, but that was about it. However, I recognize that my experience my have been atypical as evidenced by the consistent crowds there. You were all obviously seeing something that wasn't apparent to me.
I've joined the fold. The first time I walked into the Whole Foods in The District, it was close to a religious experience. All that prepared food at all the different food stations. I felt like I was walking into a Las Vegas buffet, and I didn't have to drop $20 into the Wheel of Fortune machine first.
There is the pasta bar, where you can get pasta dishes made to order; the churrascaria & taqueria, where you can enjoy Brazilian barbecue, burritos and other Latin-inspired flavors; the wine & tapas bar where you can try different wines, but instead of some lame cheese slices you would find at other wine bars, you can try the wine with various food selections. Then there is the sushi station. It's no Kai Sushi, but you can get fresh and tasty sushi made to your liking.
Here are some of the other things offered at Whole Foods, taken straight from the website:
Meat, seafood, & prepared foods dine-in seating Brazilian barbeque rice pudding bar garden center coffee roaster Korean barbecue tapas bar tea bar freshly grilled and steamed fruits and vegetables pasta bar taqueria freshly baked organic breads
seafood salads and chowders olive bar smoked seafood huge selection of beer & wine artisan cheeses exotic fruits and organic vegetables organic bread fresh flowers and plants.
For all these goodies, Tustin Magazine names Whole Foods the best grocery in and around Tustin.
