Hi, this is Christopher Kimball. You're listening to our special summer grilling episode,

brought to you by our exclusive sponsor, Whole Foods Market. You know, I just returned from

Japan, and I learned a lot about grilling, especially chicken. Now, they use a simple marionade. It's

one part each soy sauce, Marin and sake. They place three small skewers through a boneless thigh,

and then grill it over charcoal.

Now, I do buy my chicken thighs at Whole Foods Market.

They offer a no antibiotic, boneless, skinless thigh.

I can also pick up 365 by Whole Foods Market wildcaught salmon burgers.

By the way, my six-year-old really loves salmon. I also grill a lot of vegetables,

and Whole Foods Market has a terrific selection. I can find everything I need, including lots of

organic options. Now, I love to throw together salads at the last minute with whatever looks good,

from frisé to butter lettuce to fennel to dill. Maybe I buy a can of chickpeas and rinse them and add them to my salad,

or maybe some toasted nuts.

Whole Foods Market has a ton of choices.

365 by Whole Foods Market also has a great selection of the highest quality sparkling drinks.

I always stock up on tonic water and lemonade and the like. We make a lot of

spritsers here at home during the summer. Now, I've noticed that Whole Foods Market also has yellow

low-price signs, often discounting meats for the grill, including beef and chicken. They also have

yellow sale signs, especially on fresh produce. I like a bargain as much as anyone.

Plus, my wife orders online and gets home delivery. I still like shopping in the store.

I love to see what looks good that day. You know, shopping at Whole Foods Market is a pleasure.

I trust in the quality, and they have what I want, and that's not a bad combination at all.
