Back in wartime, most communication was done in morse code. There was the dot store (Tops), the dot dash (Wegmans), and then there was the single dash store (Budweys), and finally there was the double dash store (also known as Dashes). I'm not sure what it used to be called back then but it came to be known colloquially as Dash's. And now you know the story. So you can tell everyone and their mothers and sons the story. And maybe even their cousins. And stuff.
Reduced to a 4 star rating for having awful produce, high prices, an expensive congealing salad bar, and for following me to my car with said salad under suspicion that I hadn't paid for it (I had).
What to get: Soups (Chili, or Kale & Linguica especially), or a whole wheat sub from LT's. Joe Tea Iced Tea w/Lemonade in a bottle from the front drink display.
So Dash's is basically a fancier version of Tops, a smaller version of Wegmans, a sexier version of the Moulin Rouge in Paris (ok, I made the last part up). It's a little pricy but has a lot of nice stuff, not a huge selection but it's definitely worth "dashing" into, in a pinch, although I'm not sure what a pinch is, or why one would be in one.
Specifically, I like the good price on their Coconut Milk (they have the good brand, and it's usually priced well), and the decent spice collection, their decent veggies and fruit, their sub shop (which I will review separately, it's called LT's), and their soup bar... which almost always contains Angus Beef Chili... which I have to say is absolutely delicious. I can't quite give it a 5 because like the rest of the store, it's a little overpriced... but it is definitely delicious Chili and if you're in the mood for Chili and like Chili, try the Dash's Chili... you might be surprised and delighted, and not necessarily in that order.
I've tried their other soups too, by the way, and some of them are delicioius. The Eggplant & Zucchini one really made my day. read more
