Where is that HUGE food store?

[Tab]

I read an article, I think possibly in the Smithsonian, probably 5 or more years ago, about this absolutely HUGE foodstore (somewhere in the midwest, I think), with foods sorted by country and type and whatever... it had acres of food products - truly legendary in its breadth and content.

Anyone know the name, and where it is?

1. Could it be KaDeWe

Largest in Europe. Berlin, Germany. Very famous.

2. No, this is something in the States

Pretty sure it's midwest/central

3. I'd like to know, too. It wouldn't be Wegman's, would it?

I was in one years ago in upstate NY and was astounded by the size.

4. I saw a program on the Food Network, I think it was...

where they mentioned a grocery store like what you describe. I do remember it was in Cincinnati, if that helps!

5. That sounds like about the right location

I do remember it was in some city that was about the last place I expected it to be.

I'll what I can dig up from there...

6. I'm thinking it was Jungle Jim's

The Cincinnati part gave me a clue

300,000 square feet - 6 acres of food!

7. Yep, that's it!

At least, that's the one I saw! Looks like a really cool place to shop.

8. I'd wouldn't want to go there unless I had a tractor trailer and a huge

bank account. Looks like you could shop there forever.
