I completely agree about the plastics invasion. Such a shame and so wasteful that markets and restaurants do this to our environment! I have written to TJ's about this a couple times now. Everyone please voice your concerns to management/corporate sites whenever possible!
Went to Wexler's this morning and had the Elaine. It was incredibly delicious!
Black confirmed that the original restaurant will remain open and the Funk Zone one will be a second location.
Disappointed
The vomitorium on Roblar should be burnt to the ground with the architect glued to the entryway before they strike that golden match. Hideous! Whoever bought it best call Frank Palmer and get his heavy equipment out there PRONTO.
The San Miguelito home- what a beautiful area that was, before the wind farm & the doomful whirly things #visualpollution
When I first asked if the restaurant was moving, I was told yes. After I posted about it, I got a message that sounded like the plan could be to have two locations, so I asked for clarification but I never heard back. Thanks for reminding me to try asking again....
I asked the good folks at St. Bibiana's about them moving to the old Metropolous location and they advised this would be a second location for them, with the Ortega Street location staying open. They have the best pizza in town, so hoping this is correct. :)
Making bagels from scratch is a huge endeavor. Another way to look at this is Wexler's giving a leg up to a local entrepreneur.
Yetz bagels with a 50% markup
St. Bibiana is so great — awesome that they’re going to move into that spot in the funk zone
Totally agree, big bummer!
Hey Erik! So jealous you got the first one. Did you go corned beef or pastrami?
We have Fair Plan and price is better than when we had State Farm. They cover up to 3mil which is plenty for us, but some of these house need more than that.
I'm glad the use of plastic has become a public conversation. I've devoted my fruits and vegetable shopping to fruit stands because of it (I rarely make it to Farmer's Market and am in the SYV a few times a week giving wine tours where they have fab fruit/veg stands). As much as I love TJs, I just can't play the plastic game any longer.
Oh boy, PERFECT CALL BACK! Hahahaha! Yes, "parked legally!" Beautiful, RWD.
OMG - Was thinking the same thing, poor car! And parked legally I might add!
i stopped shopping at Trader Joes when I started reading the labels - almost everything has sugar added, and and way too much of it. Every single lunch meat had added sugar! who needs sugar in their roast beef, or their turkey ?!?!?!?!?!?'vnvnvn
Thank you for acknowledging person of this cross????????✝️
I so strongly agree with the “plastic container invasion”, with Trader Joe’s being one of the worse offenders. C’mon TJs! You’re going in the wrong direction! We want to REDUCE the use of plastic! I will call the Corporate offer and share my disgust. And, in the meantime, go elsewhere for fresh fruit and veggies.
Wow!
Santa Barbara County has farmer's markets every day of the week, and innumerable fresh produce stands, all with LOCAL organic produce sold by the very farmers who grow it. I will never understand why people choose instead to buy plastic-wrapped fruits and vegetables, washed in chemicals that you can taste, that have been trucked over from as far as Mexico, leaving not just plastic for landfills, but a giant carbon footprint. It's shameful.
No love for the death of the Subaru?
Add to the plastic conversation that most of that produce is washed in chlorine and the plastic is a petroleum product. It is worth the effort to go to our farmer's markets and take your own bags. I live only two blocks from Trader Joe's but have never once bought the produce in plastic, even in a pinch. Funny, they don't sell plastic sandwich type bags.
Ablitts holds collection of plastics a couple times a month usually. Sign up for their email. https://ablitts.com/film-plastic-recycling/
I avoid buying at TJ's and other stores that have moved in the direction of packaging everything in plastics. It's unnecessary and so bad for our environment.
Maybe something people can do is boycott and/or complain to the management.
Thank you for giving us 20 years. You will be so missed!
How will we manage without your cookies?...especially the brown butter shortbread cookies. Any chance of a cookbook in your future?
