California Grocery store hot take
Bi-Rite is the Goat if you care about where your ingredients come from. Erewhon has s tier prepared foods and customer service but does not prioritize sourcing local ingredients as they are too big and don’t make $$$ off that.
Bottom line for the 36 people that cook on Farcaster in California.
When I have to cook in sf- I can rely on bi rite if I don’t have time to go to farmer market and that makes it a special place
