Eden Gourmet: New South Orange Gourmet Destination

[Soda]

I won't go any further than saying this: Foodies around here aren't going to Whole Foods any more...

Is this the same store that's on Wash St in Hoboken?

I went to the South Orange store today. Very impressive, a must see if you like good food.

Stopped in today, and I was very impressed. It's smaller than your typical whole foods, but they have a lot of variety and very knowledgeable staff. Aged beef, duck confit, hanger steaks, seasonal mushrooms. I talked to one of the managers and they will be getting Jamon Iberico in next week. I forgot to ask him if it would be the de Bellota. Tried the Jamón Serrano today and expected the skies to open, but was a little disappointed due to my high expectations.

The prices are than Whole Paycheck, and the overall quality -- and I am basing this on only one visit -- seems to be the same or better. Definitely worth the trip.

I may wind up cross-posting this to the dining blog, but not yet: approvals are pending...
