My Sorority Sister's favorite (and her entire family's favorite) syrup is Golden Eagle syrup. "The…read moreGolden Eagle" theme is "Pride of Alabama," and Star Market is one of the few stores that carries Golden Eagle syrup. Another Sorority Sister and I went to Star yesterday to get Melissa two jars of Golden Eagle. In general, any sauce or unique condiment you want is generally available at Star Market! Hubs and I love "Bishop's 3 'N' 1 Stuff Barbecue Sauce" and it's only available at Star Market. Try Bishop's it's good on any type of meat! We browsed around a little and per usual, their meat department was well stocked and well displayed. Hubs did not want a Terry's pizza this time and I by passed that little department in the back. Star Market carries unique and regional things like delicious pimento cheeses and I think I've seen Chicken Salad Chick for sale in Star, also. Sister and I wine shopped because Star Market typically carried a great selection of inexpensive unoaked white wines (Simply Naked was the label and they make unoaked Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay) that I enjoyed and now they don't appear to carry the Simply Naked brand. We did get a chilled Kim Crawford unoaked Chardonnay which was good! The staff are always friendly and helpful and most importantly chatty as you check out at Star Market. For Terry's Pizza (and Terry's lasagna) either baked at Star or take and bake; a great variety of delicious meats; good wine selection; and unique sauces, condiments, and refrigerated local items, definitely go to Star Super Market. Star is locally owned and operated and has served this region since 1944.

Man, I have a special place for local grocery stores. This spot is right down the mountain from us…read moreand it's great for things in a pinch. BUT, They also have a great meat department, beer and wine as well as random specialty things. The folks working here are always super nice too! It's random peaks and valleys regarding business though. That and most of the shoppers live in the area too, so It can feel like Whole Foods or the like when it comes to your other shoppers being or not being dickheads. My only gripe/concern? It's not uncommon to find out of date or spoiled things on shelves. I've seen moldy bread and other things out of date, which is weird but again, it's not a Walmart or Publix that has an army of employees and/or a team dedicated to only rotating stock and checking dates. So, buyer beware.

I will give it five stars.

I stopped by to pick up items for japchae and bulgogi which are two dishes Koreans make during the Christmas and New Year holidays. Here in America you can get those foods at any Korean restaurant year round. Overseas the average Korean family doesn't eat either one once a week. I have a great friend coming to visit and I purchased the foods necessary to prepare japchae and bulgogi at Christmas along with the ingredients to make birthday soup. My friend will be cooking. Yum! While I was at Holiday International Market, I saw radish kimchi and picked some up. It's not fermented yet and will be by Christmas hopefully. If you are craving Asian foods, please stop by and check out Holiday International Market. Yum!!!

I must warn you though that although it is well stocked and appears to be clean, there is a horrendous odor throughout that I could not put my finger on...

LLTL is one of the top three Mexican groceries of the eight in Huntsville (I'll state is it my…read morethird favorite one, BTW, vying closely for second with another on TriJuana Boulevard). The number one reason to visit here? It boasts what is undeniably the most mammoth Mexican Candy/Snack selection hereabouts (brands include: Pica-Bola; Betamex; Duvalín; Nucita; Jovy; Bubbaloo; El Chavo; Dulces Tipicos). That gives it skreet cred...who DOESN'T like candy and snacks? There's a nice Carnicería in the back...didn't really look at the health score, but everything looks nice and fresh. Good place for, for instance, homemade Chorizo; recently on FB, they announced they were offering Barbacoa, Pollo Rostrisado, and Carnitas. The produce section is nice, but I think I prefer Guanajuanto on those items. However, the Baby Mangoes are inviting...and if you're thinking of using, say, Cilantro, or lemon-infused Mayo, do stop off at one of our Mexican grocers. Although there are two Mexican bakeries in town, Pan Dulce and such are trucked in from Albertville's Guelagetza Bakery and Juquilita Bakery in Morristown, TN. I recommend La Colonial over on Jordan for fresher, immediate, in-house offerings (although its grocery section is not as extensive...go to both places!). You'll find Montes™ Blue Corn Tortillas; Cal-C-Tose; Choco Milk; Mojo Criollo Marinade. They also carry Cruz de Malta™ Yerba Mate in both Orange and Lemon...which I need to try, ASAP...a good selection of cheeses and other dairy products (the refrigerated area looks pretty good...Queso Oaxaca; Crema Guatemalteca; Agria El Mexicano). A visit is definitely worth your time, though language may be a problem if you're not Spanish savvy. However, they are comparatively friendly and you can usually find someone who can clue you in.
