I knew that <a href="http://www.zagarasfresh.com">Zagara's</a> had gone Chapter 11; I didn't know that they'd closed their Glen Mills location for good.

Now I have to hunt down somebody that carries (a) Chile Today - Hot Tamale chips and pretzels, (b) Boylan's Grape Soda, (c) Garden Fresh Salsa Company's unsalted tortilla chips and salsas, and (d) the Jones Soda Company lineup, among other things.

I can think of local replacements for most (Whole Foods carries some Chile Today products, Trader Joe's has Boylan's, Wegman's carries GFSC salsas but not the chips, and supposedly Panera Bread (which I've never been to) carries some Jones products), but it sucks to not be able to make one trip.

I looked up Panera Bread, BTW, and the menu looked interesting -- then I clicked on the nutritional information. YOWZA. The first three sandwiches I clicked on (Coronado Carnitas Panini, Frontega Chicken Panini and Smoked Ham & Swiss) were all just as fatty as a Whopper with Cheese, and double to TRIPLE a Whopper's sodium. Meanwhile, Burger King's actually came out with a low-fat sandwich line (the chicken baguettes) that's reasonably healthy for fast food AND tastes pretty good.

Who'da thunk it?
