Gourmet Garage is important. It changed the tone of gourmet food shopping in New York City. At a time when high end foods were found, as the article says, in emporiums like Dean and DeLuca, which treated food as if it were jewelry, Gourmet Garage treated it as if it were produce. It's one of those changes that has become so complete that it's imperceptible, but as someone who has shopped for high end food in NYC for 30 years, I can say that it was a sea change.

I have edited this article several times to make it less like a news release. I would appreciate suggestions on any further changes you think it needs to lose the cautionary flag over the text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JMartin437 (talk • contribs) 15:41, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
