Grocers
OK, you can’t buy toilet paper at the butcher shop, I get it. But with a little extra organization, you can shop small and local, supporting good people who are excited about what you are cooking. They’ll talk to you, and give you good advice about what to buy, or what to substitute. You’ll complete your errands feeling like you bought from people and not from a store. Get your toilet paper another day.

Hi there,
Do you know anywhere in the city that sells French Lentils ( du Puy lentils) ?
Hi there,
Yes. De Luca’s wonderful Italian grocery carries them most of the time. They are out of stock right now but expect a shipment within a few weeks. Maybe call before you make the trip: 774-7617
Cheers,
Zolli
