After receiving a call from Blockbuster threatening corporal punishment if they didn't receive the videos we had out for a week, I jumped into my Wachs Utility Vehicle, the vehicle that does what I tell it, to drop the videos off and spare my family's knees years of agonizing rehab.
The grand opening of the new Super H Mart was in full broom down the way, so I stopped over there after appeasing my video overlords and trying on some hilarious party ears that were on sale.

I don't know why they call it that. Super H Mart. Was that because K-Mart was already taken? Why the "H" then? Does the word "Korea" in Korean start with an "H?" Wait, let me look it up. On the internet, there is no need to look feeble-minded.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Han Ah Reum (Korean: 한아름, Hanja: 韓亞龍)—which also markets itself as H Mart and Super H Mart—is a Korean supermarket chain with several locations in the
United States and Canada.
From the Washington Post
..the name Han Ah Reum (HAR), translated from Korean as "bountiful..."
And a bounty indeed. A bounty of perfume, Hello Kitty merch (I couldn't resist the backpack), jewelry, oh, and food.
The place is set up more like a grocery store with a flea market squeezed in the perimeter. They have more space for Korean DVDs than refrigerated, prepared, heat and eat foods. Oh, you can get some of that Acorn Pudding with some fried Kimchi, and a side of Sea Cucumber Porridge, but it really gets old after a few days of it and one craves variety. Sweet Buddha! Would it hurt them to stock some fresh Abalone Tofu Casseroles once in a while?
They did have a food court with a Chinese place, a Korean place, and a Japanese booth with traditional dishes and scary writing that are cooked to order for eat in or take out, so the Koreans are fitting in nicely into the American way of life by making the women work and ignoring their kids and all that, and then rushing around to get everyone fed.
The produce was of very nice quality and variety, certainly better than the local Publix, which has gone downhill deeply recently, and has not been able to rise to the competition at the Whole Foods across the street. It was cheap, too. One of them quart boxes of strawberries was a buck, fresh broccoli could be had for 58 cents/lb, and the more exotic stuff to these parts was only slightly more money than that of Dekalb Farmer's Market by which Super H seems to be influenced.
And tell me. Where else are you gonna get a steady, fresh supply of Crunky Bars?

I wouldn't go there for rib steaks or NY strips, but there was plenty to like in the meat department such as thin-sliced fresh and fresh frozen rib eye steak like they use for authentic Philly Cheesesteaks. It's hard to find this meat in this condition and quality at a Kroger or Publix, unless you are tasteless and don't care and choose to go with those putrid chopped and formed Steak-Ummmms (should be called Steak-Uhhhhggggs if you axe me).
I went with the fresh frozen because it was almost $10/lb. cheaper than the non-frozen rib eye, and what I'll do with that is go ahead and buy some frozen Tandoori Naan bread down at Trader Joe's. Toss that in the oven at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Cook up the ribeye with some garlic salt and pepper plus some onions and green pepper for a few minutes in some hot olive oil, and dump the whole thing on the Naan bread now lined with a couple slices of provolone. I call it The Dehli Cheesesteak. "Pardon me, Adrian!"
But what I really come to Super H Mart for are the misspellings.

Well, that is the way "asian" is pronounced in the South.

How does that Earth, Wind, and Fire song go again?
Do you remember,
my 21st time with a cucember

This is parsley actually grown at a Catholic Franciscan high school in Baltimore.

Maybe Andruw Jones should shop here.

Peteetong!
