My friend said it first, and it's true: the new Whole Foods Market on Sepulveda and Rosecrans in El Segundo is like Disneyland for foodies! She told me it was bigger than the Whole Foods in Torrance, so of course I asked her, "ok, but is it bigger that the Whole Foods in Alexandria, VA?" (we've both been there, too). And she said yes. Oh my gosh, it can't be true! And even thought I am dedicated to the Torrance store I knew I'd have to get to the new store soon. Well, it is amazing! You walk in and the store just goes on forever. My first thought was "there's no way I have enough time to see it all." Like someone who likes to go to the mall, I could spend the day shopping at Whole Foods. So they have a "bar" for everything: coffee, tea, seafood, bbq, pizza, gelato, chocolate, wine, Asian foods, and on and on. It was so much to take in that I just couldn't decide what to eat for lunch. I settled for the pizza bar and the pizza was outstanding - thin crust, simple ingredients. Then a bit of gelato. The lemon had the perfect tang. Yum-o! It was hard to leave, but I will certainly go back soon.
Since my visit there I have been back to the Torrance Whole Foods (I am there about once a week b/c it's very close to where I live) and I was so sad. It's like the Torrance store is so little and lacking. I almost wish I hadn't visited the new store.
