After work one day last week, Leah and Dick picked me up next to the Jack Brickhouse/Captain Christopher Pike memorial and we pointed the Mobile Recording Studio toward Bucktown.

We had a little time to kill, however, so we stopped in at the relatively new Sunflower Market, which is endeavoring to fill the same ecological niche as Whole Foods.

Sunflower's store, located at 1910 N. Clybourn Ave. in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood, is a tentacle of the Supervalu group that owns, among other outlets, Jewel and Albertsons.

Listen to the podcast to find out what we thought of the place. For another opinion (and much better photos), check out Chicagoist. Too bad that F--- Corporate Groceries is no longer being updated; I'd like to hear what her opinion is of Sunflower.

Speaking of Supervalu, Leah is disappointed that Chicago-area Cub Foods stores are being sold. Cub was the only supermarket near her open 24 hours.
