Whole Foods Hot Bar Chicken Tenders

Posted by Dry-Double-6845@reddit | shittyfoodporn | View on Reddit | 46 comments

Chicken was dry and has some stupid breading. Probably sitting under heat lamps too long. Priced at $12/lb. Still ate and devoured the mac & cheese and orange chicken though. 👍

Why did you buy that? It literally looks raw

So they could come post here for attention of course

WF has fallen so far since it was bought out. It’s not the same store it was other than its name

I remember when they opened up a WF on my college campus many years ago. The food bar was incredible. It was also pretty easy to steal food from there so shout out to them for holding me down when I had $0.71 in my bank account

If you see someone stealing food. No you didn't.

They used to have so many tasty vegan options on the bar. Now it’s just tendies, lasagne, and orange chicken.

I was visiting Santa Cruz area recently and stopped into a store I think called staff of life. Great products. Tons of stuff I would have loved to try. Hot bar with tons of veggie stuff, beans, rices, chicken, etc. $9/pound. I was blown away

You can only blame yourself. You pick it out and look at it before purchasing

Thank you! This person chose these. Why did they choose these? There are so many options at Whole Foods deli bar. 😆

The Whole Foods hot and salad bars used to be luxurious. What I've seen recently is not luxurious at all. It seems to have gone downhill. We could likely blame Covid, but probably Jeff Bezos is a more likely suspect.

I truly believe that the Mac & Cheese at Whole Foods’ Hot Bar is overrated. Doesn’t even LOOK good to me. I would MUCH rather pick up a frozen Mac & Cheese (I like the one by Tillamook), and make it at home. I get it, though: You’re out & about, and hungry RIGHT THEN & THERE. So you scratch the itch. But when it can be helped, frozen is better. Same with the chicken strips.

When I worked there in 2019 the recipe for the mac and cheese sauce was a bag of premade alfredo sauce and two bags of pre-shredded cheddar lol.

I don't understand how they make mac and cheese look dry.

Op chooses to go to the whole foods hot bar on a regular basis, picks the food himself, and bitches about it on this sub over and over again.

I used to work at Whole Foods for several years. I just wanna let you know that there’s hardly anything on the hot bar that’s actually made in stores anymore. Even the macaroni is shipped in a giant bag. Its all fake. F A K E

$12lb is ridiculous

AppUnwrapper1@reddit

In NY it’s $14/lb :/

It’s wild that WF would stand behind that but the profit margin must be wicked.

I used to work at whole foods and would eat these occasionally because they were warm and in proximity and on discount to me, but I have no idea why any self respecting person not tethered to the store would voluntarily become a repeat customer at the hot bar. All of it is so stale and expensive, and whole foods are never in in food desserts. If theres a whole foods, theres probably five different fast casual options in the same parking lot.

It that meatloaf in the bottom right corner.
