Description

Wholesome Choice is the most diverse supermarket in Orange County-maybe Southern California-a garden of produce delights where Armenian cherry preserves, Polish kielbasa, Middle Eastern cream cheese, organic eggs and Tapatío exist within a three-aisle radius. But its greatest treat is the sangak, crispy Persian flatbread as crucial to Iranian identity as Rumi and about four feet in length.

My chica made great tilapia tacos last week, but we differed on our choice of dairy. She's a half-Mexi so is more than happy to put shredded Cheddar cheese on tacos; I don't think it's necessarily her... More »

2010 | Best Health-Food Store

A market that specializes in global cuisine, Wholesome Choice has an incredible selection of fresh produce delivered daily (Chinese okra? Check. Loquats? Check), dried fruits and nuts (it boasts one of the largest selections in Orange County), and all those oddball items you just can't find anywhere else. The Irvine location may always be bustling (blame the kiosk at the entrance selling delicious Sangak flatbread at less than three bucks a pop), but what makes this place better than,... More »
2009 | Best Bread

Four feet of burnt, chewy, warm Persian flatbread for less than $3. Only problem: The wait is usually half an hour. Mitigating factor: Persian women are hot. More »
