Yeah, its really freakin expensive, and I find it annoying that they don't have Diet Pepsi, Tide detergent, or absorbant paper towels...but they do have KILLER fresh foods.
Recently WF opened a new store in downtown Seattle on Westlake which is slightly different than the other stores I've been to. When you walk in there is a heavy focus on prepared foods, the wine section is closer to the entrance than other locations, and the canned/dry foods sections seem smaller.
Every weeknight between 5-7 they offer samples of food throughout the store which is very cool, but can easily spoil your appetite.
Last night I went to the new WF on Westlake, found free parking immediately, got in and out within 10 minutes! The fish selection at this particular store is beautiful, and on most days they have my wife's favorite (Chilean Seabass) as well as a new favorite, Turbot from Greenland.
I like to pan sear the Turbot with a little olive oil, lemon, white wine, shallots, and capers, then put the whole pan (covered) in the oven for a bit and serve medium rare. Try it with a nice Sauv Blanc.
If you don't have a Valentines dinner planned, consider dropping by WF for:
- Heart shaped crabcakes
- St Andre triple cream cheese
- Maybe a nice Oregon Pinot such as Medici
- fresh berries and ice cream
Cheers
