Screw Seth Sommerfeld. I didn’t want to reduce to such terms, but there really isn’t any other answer to someone arguing against the grandeur of Wegmans.

How is it he didn’t mention the prepared foods? The Wegmans in Fayetteville offers better prepared sandwiches (for a better price) than any other sub shop in all of Syracuse — Brooklyn Pickle included. One of those 14′ subs could feed a dormitory floor — and with fresh deli meat!

Working at The Daily Orange, you understand that at 4 a.m., when sadly the last bastion of takeout food (Kalzonies) has closed, Wegmans still offers its prepared foods in a cooler for those late-night crammers.

Seth is also incorrect in naming organic food shoppers Wegmans’ target customer base — that’s Whole Foods Market. Wegmans is about the quality of its products. Go to its fresh meat section and try to find one cut that doesn’t belong in a butcher’s window.

I will agree it’s just a regional supermarket, but in terms of your alternatives while living here, Wegmans will always win. An opinion can’t be wrong, but Seth sure as hell isn’t right.
