The new 75,000 square foot store opening today (!) is the 3rd largest Whole Foods in the world. It has seating for 200 in the mezzanine, outdoor tables overlooking the river, 7 neighborhood-themed eateries and the list goes on and on. I’ve heard that there is even a mix-your-own trail-mix bar….oh and you can drink wine while you shop. Hello Lincon Park Whole Foods!!!!

Finding a healthy, decent-tasting meal at the airport is like playing the lottery. Will I have time to grab something before grabbing my connecting flight? What restaurants will they have? Since I live in Minneapolis, I am lucky to have a lot of good airport dining choices and I usually am able to pick up a great salad to go – my favorite?  French Meadow Bakery & Cafe (a Minneapolis local) which offers organic, fresh, delicious food. (gasp! I know, it hardly seems possible)

While recently at Midway airport with about 5 minutes to spare I quickly scanned what was there and managed to find a “Pub” with to-go salads. I grabbed a Greek salad and fruit cup along with some raw onion crackers that I had brought along. Was it the best salad I’ve ever had? Obviously not, but it sure beat McDonalds. 
Score: B (I would have given myself an A but there was a lot of plastic waste that I was feeling really guilty about)
