You get the impression that people working at Whole Foods are competent and professional, and I have the expectation that the food prepared will be very good. But this is just impressions and image. From my experience, their prepared food has been very average; often overcooked and over-seasoned. Seems to be prepared by people with little quality experience in a kitchen (they seem to employ a lot of students here). I was especially disappointed in the pizza my wife brought home recently. The bottom was so overcooked it was hard and black; garbage. This is just evidence of a larger problem with quality assurance and staff supervision. My poor pizza was obviously prepared by someone with little interest in serving high quality food; just push it out there somebody will buy it. Very poor supervision of kitchen help leads to serving customers poor quality products, and bad reviews from disappointed customers. I was not surprised to learn this location is having difficulty competing with other local businesses in the high-end grocery market. At the national level Whole Foods sales are shrinking and their corporate reports suggest customers are finding lower-cost alternatives from competitors. I heard Trader Joe's may be looking at this East Lansing space if Whole Foods closes. I have heard many accolades for Trader Joe's; if we see them here in the future I hope they can meet expectations better that Whole Foods.

Fascinating way to make ice cream! First, pick your cream base. Then pick your flavor (e.g. taro) and incidental additions, like nuts or berries or syrups or sweetened condensed milk. They mix it up and pour it a thin layer onto a freezing cold surface and mix like in making fudge. The mixture quickly freezes and they use a putty knife-like instrument to push 4-inch strips into rolls. The rolls are inserted like carpet rolls into a cardboard dish and then toppings are added to created a major over-the-top dish of ice cream. SHARE IT! But I doubt two people can agree on all the decisions that have to be made to create this dish. A gazillion decisions. Be prepared for decision freeze.
