[Updated] Reports of a fire at Whole Foods Bowery

Word is spreading late this afternoon that there was a fire inside the Whole Foods Bowery...

What's going on at the Whole Foods on Houston? Ambulances, FDNY on scene. @boweryboogie @evgrieve

Not sure of the cause just yet... There seems to be a lot of confusion about what happened...

Fire in whole foods. Not a single person including us took the alarms seriously until the sprinklers came on... twitter.com/jameschororos/…

So where am I gonna get my whole foods now? Just as I'm getting used to gourmet potatoes.
Q - what's the difference between regular potatoes and gourmet potatoes?

A - $ 2.00 a pound.
