In this episode, host Michael Ruhlman explores the current state of the grocery store. Ruhlman begins by speaking with Tom Heinen of Heinen's Grocery Stores in Cleveland and the greater midwest. Later, we hear from Chef Brian Polcyn who takes the perspective of the grocery buyer.

Heinen's Grocery Store was the anchor of the story for the book "Grocery: The Buying and Selling of Food in America" by Michael Ruhlman.
