Hi Dave,


 DD> Here's the Top 10: (and a link)

 DD> https://10best.usatoday.com/awards/travel/best-grocery-store-2024/

 DD> 10 - Fresh Tyhme Market
 DD> 09 - Wegmans Food Markets
 DD> 08 - Trader Joe's
 DD> 07 - Publix Super Markets
 DD> 06 - ALDI
 DD> 05 - Gelson's Markets
 DD> 04 - Stew Leonard's
 DD> 03 - Heinen's Grocery Store
 DD> 02 - The Fresh Market
 DD> 01 - Hy-Vee

 RH> Surprised that Wegman's is so far down on the list. I've seen other
 RH> lists where it is in the top 3. Guess it just depends on who is making
 RH> up the list and who they ask. I've never heard of 4 of the 10.

 DD> I was surprised that Weggies was that far down-list. Hy-Vee and
 DD> Wegman's are very similar in many aspects. Only two of those I'd never
 DD> heard of until this list - Gelson's and Heinen's.

I didn't know about Fresh Thyme Market, Gelson's Markets, Stew
Leonard's and Heinen's Grocery Store. Became acquainted with Publix and
The Fresh Market while in Savannah, have the latter in Raleigh and the
former both here and Raleigh. Never been in a Hy-Vee but know of them,
thanks to you.

 DD> Stew Leonard's is an American regional chain of eight supermarkets
 in DD> Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, which Ripley's Believe It
 or DD> Not! deemed "The World's Largest Dairy" and Fortune magazine
 listed as DD> one of the "100 Best Companies to work for" in 2011. It's
 probably the DD> tiniest to make USA Today's Top 10 list.

Sounds like FreshTown; it replaced the A&P in my folk's town in the
Catskills. People in town thought it on the expensive side but Steve and
I thought they were well in line with what we pay.

 DD> Never made this - but it do look good. I've never used a sheet pan
 for DD> anything except mas toasting of bread or cooking large
 quantities of DD> my favourite vegetables - bacon.  Bv)=


 DD>       Title: Roasted Lemon Chicken Thighs & Vegetables
 DD>  Categories: Poultry, Potatoes, Vegetables, Herbs
 DD>       Yield: 4 servings

Sheet pan cooking has been popular for a few years now. I've not tried
it formally but have put meat & potatoes on a pan, something like squash
in another one and shoving it all in the oven. Been doing that for
years. (G)
