PIZZA: What once appeared to be a terrific Thursday (amazingly delicious) pizza bargain for $6.99…read moreis no more a bargain nor amazingly delicious. The former freshly in-store-made pie now is previously frozen with a lot fewer ingredients. Even the cooking time has changed -- a lower temperature with a longer oven time. I popped the "new" pizza in the freezer a week ago with plans to eat it later. This evening I thawed the vegetarian version and baked it and attempted to eat it. The pizza lacked flavor and the green and red peppers seemed as though they had been dehydrated before being scattered on top. What a disappointment. The market does offer fresh, hot pizza for a higher price, yet no more bargain pizza that enticed me to shop there on Thursdays and buy a cart full of other food.

I love the idea of picking fish from the display and having them cook it up for you right there, something I'll definitely try next time if they have some of my favorites for sale, such as red snapper.

Earthfare in West Knoxville offers a great variety of organic produce, grass-fed meats and other…read morefood without artificial preservatives and sweeteners. It can be pricey, though, unless the products are on sale. NormalIy I would rate them much higher; however, today's visit left me wondering whether I should return. While the employee behind the meat and seafood counter provided helpful customer service, the other employees I encountered did not. One of the sale items that brought me in this day -- baguettes for 50 cents each. What a deal, I thought, as I later reasoned that the ad: "SAVE 50 cents each" -- meant the loaf did not cost a half dollar. As I walked through the bakery/deli aisle, I saw only one baguette in a large display basket. The price, $3.29 with 50 cents off if one also purchased a pound of chicken salad. The solo employee visible in the deli had his back to me as he was busy with a task. When I caught his attention, I asked him where I might find the baguettes. He said, "back there." i asked him if there were more. He said he didn't know and didn't offer to assist. As he returned to his task and with no eye contact, he added, "They must be sold out." I walked back to the lone baguette as another bakery/deli employee emerged. I asked her if it was on sale. She didn't know and instructed me to take it to checkout where the cashier would know. WRONG. He did know that customers would get 50 cents off if they also purchased chicken salad, so I brought up the ad on my phone displaying baguettes at 50 cents off with no chicken salad attached. Such a small issue, yet with a reputation as a top-notch store, one would think customers might encounter employees skilled in top-notch customer service and product knowledge.

I am happy to have EarthFare in West Knoxville. These days, there are not many true "health food /…read moreorganic" stores. That concept is dominated by Whole Foods and/or incorporated within regular grocery stores. All that said, EarthFare is a unique place and very convenient for those of us in this part of town. I really like the unique assortment of items here. Great produce, bakery, meats, bulk nuts/snacks, and cheese. They also have some really good deals from time to time. Seriously, you can actually find a few bargains here. The prepared food is good too. But, the hot bar is inconsistent. Hard to know when they'll have food or if it'll be good. They could easily improve on this. Same with the yogurt selection -- it's pretty sparse. Overall: Good local/regional healthy grocery store. I recommend giving them a try.
