Their 5-grain loaf is fantastic. But to clarify for the haters, obviously a real bakery is better, but Publix Bakery, subs, and fried foods reign supreme over all other grocery stores.

Their sushi counter is very popular with the Millennial & Gen Z crowd.

Publix fried chicken is the bomb. Pieces, tenders, popcorn chicken. All good.

They do have amazing fried chicken, although the quality has declined in the last 5 or so years at the ones I go to.

Or rather it's not that the quality itself has declined -- it's still delicious when it's fresh -- but they've seemed more willing to use older reheated chicken than they were in the past. I have to kind of study it before I buy any because sometimes the tenders are like flavorless rubber. At least I can usually tell just by looking at them, though.

Also, although I've never been to one, I imagine Wegman's fans would fight people for suggesting Publix has better stuff than they do. They're rabid.

I was about to come in here saying I think Wegmans could give Publix a run for its money :)

Are you saying Wegman's isn't as good as Publix, or what?

Like I said, I've never been to one, but I do have a good friend from NY who now lives in the south and thinks Publix is mediocre compared to Wegman's.

I would say the Fresh Market has higher quality meat, bread, baked goods, etc. than Publix, but the Fresh Market isn't a supermarket (although they've moved a bit more in that direction as they've expanded).

No wegmans here I am bemoaning the fact I have one Publix to choose from and they don't understand the sub game at all

Since we are way off topic here, I'll weigh in. Publix I only go to for the deli (The bakery is fine, but like others have said, above other groceries and below real bakeries). Gonna get the East coast after me, but Wegman's is nothing. They don't have anything that stands out like the Publix tenders, and it's even more over priced. The bakery, see Publix.

What good does DeSantis provide being in the Senate ?

His personality is as lackluster as his policies and with Trump back in the White House his political future is based on his success.

Nobody is gonna be checking for those type of politicians any longer if the next four years turns out be garbage.

Really? I've never heard of that and I've been to multiple Publixes around UCF campuses while a student haha.

You needed to go to the #1 party school. 😉

The Publix next to FSU's campus...and right across from fraternity row...was quite buzzing on Wednesday nights. I learned quickly to avoid it on that night.

Wegmans is much better than Publix for just about everything
