Hunger Stop at Harvest Natural Market

Harvest Market has been through many iterations of their food court--the latest version is called Hunger Stop.  I checked it out recently to see if it would actually stop my hunger.  It did, but in a somewhat sad way.  The store was pretty empty, and it took awhile for the counter guy to find me.  While I waited I looked over the selection.  There was a small selection of diced vegetables etc under saran wrap that I assume was for the "build your own salad" option.  There were some whole rotisserie chickens sitting out, and a steam table with mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, and a rice mix.

The options are very limited, and ordering anything they had to make from scratch did not look promising, so when the counter guy came by I asked for a half chicken and 2 sides.  He was very helpful, warming the chicken in the pizza oven for me.

The vegetables were pretty rare--I could not stab the carrots with my fork.  The rice was sticky and overdone.  But all that said, it was not inedible, actually OK.  The chicken was tender and flavorful, even the breast.  $9.99 is the list price for a whole one and it's not bad if you want to take one home.

But overall the experience was kind of sad.  The food court is a shadow of its former self.  It's hard to recommend eating from it when you have a good coffee shop (Cafe Artesano) in the building and a very good food truck (Primo's Venezuelan) right outside.
