HELP! Need Patak's relishes and my usual haunts have empty shelves
I've usually been able to pick up the Patak's mango and lime pickles at Whole Foods, but all of the ones in DC proper are out (and at least two of them have been out for weeks). Neither Dean & Deluca nor Balducci's carry the mango or lime pickles. I need suggestions fast and close as I can't travel to Virginia or Maryland for at least. I'm really jonesing.
Thanks!
