gourmet foods?
Are there any shops in the Charlotte area that sell more gourmet foods? I'm thinking of a shop I used to go to in the Dallas area called Central Market ( Central Market | Home | Love Your Grocery Store). They had an entire aisle of cheeses from around the world, a huge wine cellar, artisan breads and desserts made fresh on site, a very large olive bar, etc. I'm particularly looking for a big world cheese selection but any information on places that have selections of foods you wouldn't typically find in the HT would be helpful.
Thanks! |

Try Reids uptown for more gourmet foods. Earth Fare has a very good cheese selection. Not too worldly but fresh and mostly organic. Artisan breads can be found at Nova's. (I make my own though). Can't help with the olives. (not a fan).
Unfortunately you probably won't find everything you are looking for under 1 roof here. |

Reids is pricey and most of their stuff isn't actually all too special. My big problem with Nova is a definite lack of consistency. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it sucks a lot. EarthFare is great for cheese, wine, and olives.
