Ouside of Lahaina, on the way to Kaanapali, there is a real French bakery...croissants, bread, fancy pastries, EVERYTHING! Turns out it's run by a Frenchman, a baker, who couldn't find the real stuff and saw a market and filled it.
(of course, I haven't been there since 1981, so it might not be there, anymore)

Originally posted by TuNnL View PostI’ll take that as a yes. I’ve been to SF a few times. I was more interested in Ghiradelli® chocolate. As far as I’m concerned, there are only two kinds of bread: hot and fresh, and not hot and fresh.
I prefer the former.*
* unless ofcourse, it was baked in Tijuana.

That suitcase usually comes home empty, although my spouse spends a lot of time at Discount Shoe Warehouse and our kid spent hers at Steve & Barry's.
We're working our way through a Trader Joe's care package (sent by a San Diego friend). Yummy, I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not sure our palates were worth the postage.
It'll be interesting to see what Target does next year...Youth may be wasted on the young, but retirement is wasted on the old.

Re: Things we can't get here
I've said it before - the AF & I are grateful that Trader Joe's has no plans to expand to Hawai`i. They have been a valuable source of omiyage for us to bring when we come to visit family.
(Omiyage is a concept with which I did not grow up, in the Midwest. It's one of those things that should be more widely adopted, imo.)

"Mmmmmm..... Tommy's...."
Nothing like a greasy burger patty smothered in greasier "chili" (more of a thick paste that bears little resemblance to what you'd enjoy at Zippys) and eaten standing up in a parking lot. Once you take the first bite you have to finish it because if you put it down it falls apart from the wrapper (and the parts do not nearly equal the whole.) Best enjoyed in the early AM hours on the way home to the fraternity house after a night of alcoholic consumption.
Ah, sweet memories of misspent youth....
