This Whole Foods is in a convenient Park Ridge location but we've never been much of a patron and…read morehave generally found them to be pricier than we like for groceries.  However, I came in on this day to try their Friday promo of 12 raw oysters for $12.  You do need to have an Amazon Prime account to get the deal.  I heard about this deal from a neighbor pal who is a big fan and oyster lover.   I would say it was an ok deal, and I'm going with 3.49 stars, as the oysters are all on the smallish side.  They're regularly priced at $1.99 apiece, and for comparison if you have them say at Shaw's, they go for $4 apiece there fyi.  You can't really enjoy them in their dining space though unless you want to buy lemons and/or cocktail sauce, as none is provided, so we did a carryout which is apparently the most common approach.  Carryout is fine as they are iced and as long as you eat them within 2 hours.  They had 3 types of oysters and they are the typical offerings year round we were told - Atlantic Blue Point, Rappahannock Atlantic, and Atlantic Wellfleet.  I queried a bit with Terry, one of the two seafood staffers on duty, and he told me Blue Points were the most popular and Rappahannocks were the biggest.  I don't know anything about the multitude of oyster varieties, but I do like the idea of getting the biggest for the buck as they all taste pretty much the same to me.  I also noticed they were only about 1/4 to 1/3 the size of the big oysters we get in a Chinatown restaurant(!), duh, but that's an aside.  Anyway we ordered 6 Blue Points and 6 Rappahannocks.  They made for a nice lunch side at home and a nice little foodie treat.  The two varieties tasted very similar but the Rappahannocks might have been a little fishier tasting.  Kyle was the staffer who did the shucking (and Terry said he was the best shucker in all of Park Ridge!), and he indeed did a masterful and excellent job as you couldn't even tell they were shucked as the shells were carefully reassembled so beautifully.  I actually raised my rating by 1/2 star just because of Kyle's fine work ha.  It was all fun, but probably still a one and done on the promo unless I find out they are going to bigger oyster varieties some day!

I don't shop at Whole Foods often but when I visited the thing that really stood out to me was that…read morethey have a single entrance. There is only one place where you can enter this store, and even when I was here around 5pm on a Thursday this created a backup. To add insult to injury the doors are enter or exit only doors (though I can't remember if there's a barrier between them--so maybe you can fudge it). Other than that, standard Whole Foods. They have an Amazon return counter on the side opposite of the entrance (since that's the least convenient place they could have put it for people making returns, I can only assume it was by design and they're hoping that people will do some shopping whilst they're in there). At that end there is a single exit-only door right by the Amazon counter, so you can avoid temptation by leaving there.

The man at the front desk then made multiple remarks under his breath aimed towards us, which completely turned us off to coming in. 6 of us were planning on spending money and none of us ended up doing it due to the statements of the man at the front.

Well this is my 4th time going on Seattle Suttons diet which is why I haven't been dining out…read morebecause I'm trying to lose weight for the next 4 weeks.I just made it through the first week. I was eating more in regards to all the restaurants as well as my bad habits of not feeling satisfied at home next to my physical checkup I noticed my cholesterol levels were high as well as liver was affected. Also noticed some chronic symptons of my hands having a shakey or tremble feel which I dealt with for 2 years. I decided this year 2023 that the resolution would be 5 weeks of Seattle Suttons which I know works if you follow it and don't eat anything else next to beverages too. I would only drink coffee black and Japanese Green tea with no added milk or sweetners. So far I like this location for distribution because it's along the way from work and they close at 7:00 p.m. before I come home to eat my meals . Foods are served fresh. It's not frozen like a Weight Watchers or Lean cuisine. Do give them a try. If you're trying to lose weight go for the 1,200 calories a day. If this is your first time the first two weeks are going to be painful in cravings that one is used to when they are overweight or obese and you will have cravings to go for the restaurant food as well as home cooked food Don't do it! Resist that temptation if your real goal is to lose weight. You will feel the difference. Once you achieve that you could start eating normally at the restaurant or you can continue on with Seattle Suttons 2000 calorie a day diet which is a lot more than the 1,200 calorie diet. They put no preservatives they took out corn syrup which follows all the guidelines for an American dietitian guidelines for Heart and Diabetes who I've trusted with Seattle Sutton herself. I have noticed sine my 3rd time I was suffering from Sever Allergies and I developed Asthma which made me depressed 10 years ago. I noticed I was gaining weight again and the doctor I went to back then in 2013 just gave me antihistamines and asthma spray which is what I did NOT want to depend on. When I went on this diet I noticed all these sudden illness or symptoms of sickness started to go away! All because of a diet! The other reason why I want to emphasize this diet program because instead of being on medication for treatment from the doctor all you had to do is eat fresh healthy food instead of fast food.
