Wegman's Chestnut Hill Grand Opening


The day had finally come, and it was today!  Thing is, I woke late, and so ended up arriving after the initial horde of customers had already entered through their doors.  However, a friend who had been in line at the start says I didn't miss anything.  No, she had not noticed any Wegman's chant that I had read of online.  Strike 1.

Right upon entering, I was greeted by their well touted prepared foods.  But it was the break of day, and oatmeal at home awaited me.


Some neat offerings I noticed - they dry age their meat on site in a case; there's a trail mix station where you may make your own perfect ratio of dried fruit/nuts/candy/granola for $7.49 per pound; a fresh ground nut butter station; and a wall of nuts, dried fruit, and candies being offered up for sale by weight.


What I missed, however, and had been excitedly waiting for, was Belgian Pearl Sugar - the secret ingredient to true Belgian Waffles.  Yes, it isn't just the waffle maker with its deep pockets.  I was hoping that with the opening of the Chestnut Hill store that I would have a more convenient source than the Northborough Wegman's.  But no dice, or so it seemed...  Strike 2.

Hopefully, however, that will soon change!

Cheeseboy - Free Grilled Cheese Day 2014

Thoughts of oozing cheese fill the mind as the anticipation of Friday as Free Grilled Cheese Day sets in.  Not just Prince Spaghetti Day anymore, right, Anthony?
