Probably the olive bar.

Was in EMAWland this weekend. Went to Dillons. Definitely looks more sophisticated and not rundown Food4Lessy. Also got snagged a deal on KC strips. "Normally" priced to $50 marked down to $18. I think it was $3.99/lb
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

New Dillons in Topeka as well.  Where the old Venture used to be.  They have a sushi bar.  Also I thought the floors looked nice/pretty.

Sucks compared to the 29th and Urish Dillons. :fatty:

Never been.  Might as well go to Hyvee if you're already that close.

We live closer to Dillons at 29th and Urish, plus they have a better olive bar.

Hy-Vee's lines aren't near as long and have better service w/ deli and meat dept and all that, Dillons you usually have to wait.

Took advantage of this as well. 

12 packs of Pepsi product for $2 as well.

Salad bar is still kind of crap. Cheesemonger is good, bulk section for grains and candy and stuff is nice. Bigger produce section  :love:

terrible news about the shitty salad bar.  you can really judge a store by the time/effort they put into their salad bar.

Salad bar faves: cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs (sliced, quarted or crumbled), different types of croutons, banana pudding w/ real bananas and 'nilla wafers, and generic pasta dishes.

When you shop at the downtown KC Cosentinos, all this other grocery store talk just sounds silly and makes you chuckle.

Is this a totally new location or just a revamp of the one across Tuttle from Hyvee? Haven't heard anything about this. BTW where does the new Ray's A.M. fit into the spectrum? Never been in there (old or new).



Ooh, nice outfit. What is that, Dacron?
