the Quest for Panettones. Sadly, they only had 7 left. Called Trader Joe's in Santa Monica and they were all out

Thank goodness Trader Joe's on Vine had plenty Panettones left. I was a little reluctant to go to that location given the recent shootings by a jilted crazy dude on Hollywood and Vine, but I figured he was already dead, what were the chances it would happen again there so soon.
