One Confused Little Baby

Looking around the tiny space filled tight with shelves of junky chips and snacks, you gave us a look that clearly said: "I'm confused." Then, looking over at the counter where tough looking guys in baggy jeans, black hoodies, and backwards turned SF Giants hats ordered giant submarine sandwiches overflowing with shaved meat and cheese, you looked even more confused.
Just a half hour earlier, we had you sitting in a mini-shopping cart, rolling through the aisles of San Francisco's best and largest organic grocery co-operative. The visit to two such different markets in just one hour was the cause of your confusion.
How could your parents take you from the hippiest of the hippiest of markets one moment, a place overflowing with mothers in yoga tights, carrying babies in Baby Bjorns and a bulk bin and vitamin section bigger than most Safeways to a tiny, junk food market serving up meaty sandwiches?
Hey Rai, all in a San Francisco day. We got our week's groceries at Rainbow Grocery and then followed that up with a visit to the Roxie Food Center for some of The City's most famous, locals-only sandwiches. On a typical day, there is a line out the door at the Roxie Food Center. It's sandwiches are known the Bay Area over. One day, Rai, after going grocery shopping together, and when we're not getting burritos, we'll definitely be sharing a supreme submarine sandwich at Roxie's. Can't wait for that!
