I was surprised that Weggies was that far down-list. Hy-Vee and Wegman's 
are very similar in many aspects. Only two of those I'd never heard of
until this list - Gelson's and Heinen's.

Stew Leonard's is an American regional chain of eight supermarkets in 
Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, which Ripley's Believe It or 
Not! deemed "The World's Largest Dairy" and Fortune magazine listed as 
one of the "100 Best Companies to work for" in 2011. It's probably the
tiniest to make USA Today's Top 10 list.

Never made this - but it do look good. I've never used a sheet pan for
anything except mas toasting of bread or cooking large quantities of my
favourite vegetables - bacon.  Bv)=
