There?s a new independent grocer in town. Canyon Market opened just before Thanksgiving so the shelves are still a bit sparse (no liquor license yet), but things look promising. It?s cut from the same mold as Good Life Grocery, but with a more gourmet slant. Which makes sense, considering owners, Richard and Janet Tarlov, have worked at Oakville Grocery, Dean & DeLuca and Zingermans.

I don't live in Glen Park, but I am willing to take a bus to Canyon Market. I stop in for the Fra Mani fresh sausages and nostrano salami, half bottles of Ravenswood zin, Straus milk, and good house-made walnut bread. It saves me a trip to the Ferry Building, but more importantly, the gentlemen who run the butcher counter are genuinely helpful and the bakery will slice your bread for you. Arizmendi is in my neighborhood--and without question bakes a better sourdough--but investing in a bread slicer is out of the "we're artisan" question for them. nelson_lamp on Jan 9, 2007
As a resident of Glen Park with great loyalty to Rick's excellent fromagerie (Cheese) and Joe's amazing bakery (Destination)I am very interested in seeing all three establishments succeed. yes the prices are absurd ($3 for a roll of 'natural' wax paper), and I hope that will amerliorate in time. But the quality and imagination in terms of product selection are there. I join in hoping they will listen and learn, and thrive. mark p on Dec 26, 2006
