Missing Gino's East in Chicago is not all that memorable. But Chicago is not only home to deep dish pizza and Garrett's popcorn. I found this place called Whole Foods Market (on W. Huron) when I was doing my shopping in Michigan Avenue (Touristy activity I know...). It is an organic food supermarket, similar to Clover's in Columbia but it was much bigger and it had its own food court as well. It had a wide range of products and even its own product lines called Whole Food and 365 which provide cheaper(and organic) options for shoppers. What I like most about Whole Foods Market is that most products, if not all, are certified organic and not only "natural". This is what some organic supermarkets do when they cannot find cheaper substitute for their organic products. They sell the "natural" products instead of the organic products. But "natural" is different from "organic". A bottle of orange juice is natural because it contains orange, a natural ingredient but it does not mean it is organic and it can still contain tons of harmful pesticide and hormones. Consumers may not be aware of it especially when sellers sell them with other organic products.
Whole Foods Market has five stores in Chicago and one in St. Louis. They have stores in other Mid-West cities as well, not in Columbia though. (Okay, Columbia is not a city.... ) Anyway, if you love organic food and have not had a chance to visit WHM yet, check out their website.
