Those are pretty much all the Giants I visit. Are there other Giant's in Bethesda that didn't make the cut?
@10:45 -- because all Giants sell corned beef and cabbage year-round. However, Passover involves the consumption of an entire class of special foods that aren't eaten or sold at other times of the year. And while almost all supermarkets in the D.C. area sell some Passover foods, some supermarkets in areas with larger Jewish populations (like Bethesda) offer broader selections of Passover foods -- in addition to the traditional St. Patrick's Day fare.

Probably not. I think they've expanded it to more stores than in the past.
So why aren't they advertising themselves as "Corn Beef and Cabbage Superstores", as well? Doesn't sound very inclusive.
