CHAMBERLAINS IS OVERLOOKED

I went to Winter Park Village, with time to kill before seeing the Rat movie. I made my way to Chamberlains, which I've strangely avoided for a long, long long time. No reason. Just did as I'm less Winter Park directed. I know they have a lunch counter, but I didn't check their deli in years. And omigosh, what a plenty of vegan stuff they have!

It's pretty amazing stuff. Their produce prices are reasonable. They have a cooler filled with different drinks so you can grab and go. And their options are fresh, tasty, and affordable. (They have assorted "pies" that are under $3. I got the bean chili pie, as I was cautioned away from the Spinach pie as it's just spinach. Nothing more added to it.) I sampled the vegan chicken salad, which is savory. The employee suggested pita breads, as it has a crumbly texture that will roll out of bread slices.

They have an eating area inside if you don't have to rush out.
Surprised at their depth of products with Soy Protein Powders. Most places offer a lot of the same. Chamberlains have variety.

So if you are vegan, vegetarian, or into organics, go BACK to Chamberlains Health Food Store. They've been around way longer than Whole Foods, were the first to stock Orangina in Orlando, and they serve their immediate middle-to-low income neighbors, as well as those with more disposable income to pursue a specific lifestyle.

It's weird. I had some dislike of Chamberlains that started in 1999, and I don't know why now. I really don't. Probably some angry young man thing. I'm not so young anymore...
