Grocers are expanding their prepared-foods offerings to cash in on consumer demand for convenience. And now, between the year-old Lunds & Byerly’s Kitchen in Wayzata and the new Wedge Table on Eat Street, two powerhouses have jumped into the restaurant business. L & B Kitchen offers groceries plus deli food, sushi, burgers, and pizza that can be ordered via iPad and paired with wine or beer. Wedge Table is a hybrid corner store/counter-service café with soups, sandwiches, and salads—plus craft cocktails and kombucha on tap. • lundsandbyerlys.com, wedge.coop
