How’s Your Neighborhood Grocery Store?

Does your cashier greet you by name? Do you find local artisans represented? Or do you skip your grocery store visit altogether, use a delivery service and shop at the farmers market?

Michael Ruhlman, author of Grocery: The Buying and Selling of Food in America, talks with us about the modern grocery store – why we love it, what it does well and what it needs to do better, and how we the consumer can make a difference in the future of this uniquely American institution.
