Whole Foods (Located Everywhere)

In the search for Atlanta Asian grocery stores, I would be remiss if I didn't talk about Whole Foods. They are not specifically an Asian Grocery, Atlanta, but they do have some of the stock that an Atlanta Asian grocery store would have. You can get a few varieties of soy sauce, some of the not-as-traditional ramen noodles, and rice vermicelli there. Sad to say, though, I am not in their upper-middle class demographic. I need something a little more down-to-earth, a place where the Asians get their food. The produce section at a Whole Foods is massive, and they include fruits and vegetables from many corners of the world. Their fruits and greens are usually extremely fresh, and you can occasionally score some deals on the locally grown items. You can pick up your share of fresh basil for your Thai meals, as well as some of those rice paper wraps which started this site in the first place. With the fresh meats, the exotic cheeses, the chocolate, and more that you can pick up at Whole Foods, there is a lot more to see beyond the Asian food itself. If you don't have an Asian Grocery, Atlanta, this will do if you have eaten beforehand. :)
