I didn't mean to insinuate that you were disputing my story, sorry if it came off that way....I was just adding more info to it. I frequent Kroger, Meijer, and GFS. When I'm in Cincy, I ALWAYS take a cooler and stop by Jungle Jim's. If I lived there, that's where I'd go pretty much exclusively. I love that place. Great cigar and craft beer selection. :andy:
There is an Aldi in my hometown, and my folks frequent it. They are currently clearing ground where I live now to build one. I can't wait. It's basically "the working man's Whole Foods". I haven't heard anything but good about Aldi.
Of the pizza chains, Jet would be my favorite. We have a few local and regional outfits here that we order from. Like you, when I learned all of that, Papa John's never had a place at my table again. Jimmy Johns can kick rocks too, and I hate that....loved the Gargantuan sub.
Aldi to me is nostalgia (in a strange way I would even say it's like a mom and pop store to me, although it isn't really). From my family's humble origins, Aldi was the store of choice during my teenage years. For a couple years when we moved around Ohio, some of my fond memories simply involve 40 minute drives to Aldi sitting in my parents' car. It's been many years since I left Ohio and I thought Aldi was just a memory. It's crazy but I got real happy when I saw an Aldi store just driving through near where I live now. Something just that simple.
I know what you mean about Jungle Jim. It's like Costco mixed with an international store mixed with whole foods mixed with Kroger, but somehow better than all those put together.
