Whole Foods South Loop
If cooking shows and cookbook photography are food porn, then the largest Chicago outpost of this national chain might just be the grocery version of a sex club. Sporting everything from a smokehouse to a noodle shop to an in-house gelateria, this good-eats emporium will satisfy the most active of your culinary fantasies. Sure Whole Foods might sport the nickname “whole paycheck,” but it’s a relative bargain when compared to “whole inheritance” ultra-gourmet stores.
