​The mere rumor of a third Whole Foods Market for the St. Louis area, this one possibly located within the city limits -- rumors that weren't exactly quashed by Whole Foods' curiously phrased denial -- definitely sparked the interest of Gut Check readers and passers-by.

The original post has 39 comments as I write this, most of them answering Gut Check's call for suggested locations.

Peruse some of the most interesting comments, including from those who want no part of Whole Foods in the city, after the jump.

Today's comment of the day comes from a post about Christy's Hamburgers.

Mike N. wrote:

Slightly off topic, but I noticed you call Christy's a chain. This is something I've been tossing around in my head lately: what constitutes a chain? There is so much anti-chain vitriol out there, it kind of seems like a scarlet letter to call a place a chain. There are two Ted Drewes, is that a chain? There are five or six locations of PI, is that a chain? Are local places like Lion's Choice or Fortel's or Rich and Charlie's chains? I really don't know.

Let us know what you think constitutes a chain in the comments.

Today's comment of the day comes from a post about Bridge & Tunnel pizza's plans to move from New York-style to St. Louis provel:

WHAT THE MOTHERFUCK!?!?!? Is this some sort of late April Fools Joke?! FUCK THIS. B&T was a fucking GEM, I'd love going there and getting a badass NY style slice at 2am. The pizza was always absolutely fucking delicious.

Fuck this fucking bullshit. If they don't offer good NON-PROVEL pizza BY THE SLICE at late night hours, I will personally make it my personal mission to make sure this place FAILS. I will smear them on every Internet review site. I'll spread lies about rat feces in the kitchen, I don't give a FUCK. I hope you're reading this Franco Bongiovani and Nick Smith. If I were you, I would just stick with the B&T formula and not get your nasty-ass fucking provel cheese involved. Failure to heed this warning will be met with SWIFT retribution.

Once again, I AM NOT FUCKING AROUND.

Today's comment of the day comes from a post about Mangia Mobile's official written response to Mangia Italiano.

Bill Cooper says:

So it looks like their defense is either "How could a bunch of fun-loving, wacky people possibly be in the wrong?" or "Clearly, we're idiots. Please take pity on us."

Today's comment of the day comes in response to a post about the frustration of being served inferior tomatoes in peak tomato season.

Mike N. says:

No they shouldn't [serve inferior tomatoes], but as a moderestly-priced establishment, they have to do what they can. I would imagine people would compain a lot more if they were served no tomatoes in their salad than if they were served inferior ones. (assuming there weren't any better specimens in the kitchen)

Today's comment of the day comes from a post about McDonald's new McBaguette.

Eric says:

"McLasagna"

"If Sbarro had a drive-through, this is what might result."

Both of these things exist: Fazoli's.

Today's comment of the day comes from a post about two Dunkin' Donuts franchisees' plans for a massive reintroduction of the donut joint into the St. Louis market.

"Just a Bob" writes:

These guys can open as many Dunkin' Donuts locations as they want, but those flavorless lumps of dough still can't beat most of the local mom & pop donut shops we're so fortunate to have in our area.

We're guessing these cyclists might agree with Bob.

Today's comment of the day comes from a post discussing Mangia Italiano's plans to sue Mangia Mobile.

​My rant against the parents who didn't finish cleaning up their baby's vomit certainly prompted some strong reactions, mostly in defense of the parents.

Here are some of the best comments, all [sic]:

"Quelafack":

wow someones having a bad day, or are you just an insensitive jack. Surely you've never done anything that caused other people grief and or time because you were so consumed with your own world filled with actual responsibilities like raising a f-n human being! She's nurturing life and your eating a sandwich. Guess what? That and many other inconviniences we'd wrather not experience tend to happen in this funny thing called life.
