FK Finds a New Love
Miami has some of the worst supermarkets known to man. Imagine chickens, small sickly children and goats running around a store. You have just pictured a grocery store in Miami on a good day. In most towns, a trip to make groceries is about 20 minutes with a majority of the items you want. In Miami, it is a scramble for anything left in the store. By the time you reach the second aisle, you are ready to buy some vienna sausages and tabasco and make a feast. From the 90 year old women who move about an inch an hour to the Cubans who refuse to pull their cart over to the side of the aisle, a shopper in Miami is looking at a good hour/hour and a half trip for a basic necessities run. If you aren't racist and hating life by the end of a Publix run in Miami, you are high out of your mind. That's the only way to stand it. The concept of "bakery" or "deli" is lost here. Anything other than cuban bread....ie if FK wants to gorge on French bread, Kaiser rolls, Rye bread, Whole Wheat bread, anything other than some damn spongy bread, Publix doesn't have it. Forget getting a birthday cake iced with someone's name. See below for a comparision:

Lo, Fat Kid found a reprieve this weekend!! Hallejulah!!! In the old Pan Am Hangars, a new Mecca of decent produce and fresh meat has opened. Want veggies that lack mold and are firm? Go to Fresh Market! Want fresh ground meat that hasn't been drowned in bleach? Go to Fresh Market! Want to buy cheap roses for your sweet, loving girlfriend? Go to Fresh Market! Seriously, it is the Whole Foods healthy with Publix Prices. FK would pay 100% mark up if it meant never having to go to shitty, shitty Publix ever again. Viva Fresh Market!
