Urban Paleo Forager: Bristol Farms

Only slightly less popular than it’s bourgeois counterpart (Whole Foods),  Bristol Farms is often overlooked when we’re looking for a quick bite. Loaded with equally dangerous cheat goodies (their cupcake counter is NOT for the weak-willed PMSing female on a non-cheat day), this market also boasts plenty of Grok-friendly (Paleo) foods. Apologies for the excessive use of parentheses today, but I digress. Their Asian tri-tip is cooked to a perfect medium rare, their Ahi poke is chunky and flavorful, and best of all, they have a PEETS COFFEE!!! With heavy cream…mmmmm.  And, since today is a cheat day for most, feel free to peruse the goodies counter, but try if you can to stick to the gluten free stuff ?

They can be hard to find, but there’s one in Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Westchester to name a few.

(this is not an endorsement or peer-pressure to cheat.  CrossFit Intrepid encourages only the strictest of Paleo Diets and would prefer if you only ate meat, nuts, greens, and fish oil)

I’m going to have to say that Bristol Farms is more bourgeois than Whole Foods from my own experiences there. Too easy to end up with 5 items in your cart and a $80 tab.

As Ruth and I found out though, the Peets service may vary. The bums in MB have not had the heavy cream the last 3 times either of us have visited. (and have the nerve to be rude when asked for it!)

I do visit Bristol often during the work week for lunch. You can get the rotisserie chicken for cheap, or fresh tri-tip from the sandwich counter (just ask for it a la carte). While I do love the ahi poke, I’ve been skipping it due to the soy sauce but I’m pickier than most. ;)
