• Whole Foods Mothership Burger

  There aren't that many hand-formed burgers to be had in Austin. So I was surprised when Jer, the grill cook at the Whole Foods flagship location at 5th and Lamar, patted out my burger to order. When I complained that a third of a pound was kind of skimpy, she made it extra large. She also gave it to me medium-rare as requested. Jer told me she graduated from Bowie High School and considered herself a South Austin bubbette, hence her comfort level with red meat, righteously rare. We ate outside i

• Kale to the Rescue

  Times like these call for food superheroes: foods that are tasty, healthy, easy to fix and -- most of all -- cheap. And, if it's your thing, easy to grow, too. And that's where kale comes in. Kale is one of the more unappreciated leafy greens, playing second fiddle to its more well-known cousins like spinach and cabbage. And that's a shame, really. Kale is not only far cheaper, but it's just as simple to fix and delicious to boot.

• Oh Baby, Baby--King Cake

  It's King Cake season from now until Mardis Gras. We got this one at the Whole Foods on Magazine Street in New Orleans. The little baby looked sort of lonely out there naked in the cold. The little figurine of a baby used to be stuck inside the King Cake by the bakery. The person who got the baby was declared king or queen for the day and had to supply the next cake. But thanks to liability issues, the baby now comes on the outside of the cake--you insert it yourself. At Whole Foods stores i

• More Junk from Whole Foods

  Photo by Robb Walsh​"We sell a bunch of junk," Whole Foods founder John Mackey told the Wall Street Journal when he announced the new focus on health foods that's supposed to be taking place at Whole Foods this fall. Mackey hopes to stop the decline in the sales of beans, nuts and whole grains, which is down from 15 percent of Whole Foods total sales to something like 1 percent. Mackey wouldn't promise that Whole Foods will stop selling junk like candy, cookies and other unhealthy foods, h

• W Burger

  Photo by Robb Walsh​The burger at the W Grill has a lot going for it. The half-pound Angus beef patty is nicely grilled and fairly juicy. There's a choice of white or whole wheat buns. The whole wheat bun I tried was dense and moist, though not very well toasted. There is nothing wrong with the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles, but the whole sandwich is delivered in the deconstructed state so you have to put it together yourself. And that wouldn't have worked out very well, because there

• Flaxseed Fad?

  ​Acai berries, whole grain, probiotics and fiber are about to be usurped by flaxseed. Once seen mostly in specialty health food stores and used as an additive to salads, breads and soups, flaxseed-infused products are making their way to the same store shelves that stock things like Cheez-Whiz and Captain Crunch. Ever since Jamie Lee Curtis started putting the regular in bifidus regularis, America has had an obsession with healthy digestion. Flaxseed is attractive to health nuts because

And for those folks, Thanksgiving can be a nightmare of avoiding the main show (that dried out or deep-fried turkey) while navigating gloppy side dishes like green bean casserole, diabetic-coma-inducing syrupy sweet potatoes and dry, bland stuffing that is only partially palatable when drenched with a copio
