This spot has Ethiopian staples and groceries as well as some really good prepared food to go if the three small tables inside are taken. Try some of the meat dishes such as kitfo (minced meat with Ethiopian hot pepper, mitmita) or tibse (lamb sautéed and grilled with tomato, onion, garlic and ginger), sopping up all the juices with the injera, a pancake-like flatbread traditionally made with teff flour, a wheat native to Ethiopia.

Central Market is Mecca for foodies, plain and simple. Whether it's single-origin coffee beans, orange blossom water, 10-year-aged cheddar or $120-a-pound Iberico ham you seek, this maze of a grocery store has it all. A behemoth of a produce section offers no fewer than 10 different kinds of potatoes, not to mention fresh juices, pricy wild mushrooms and obscure imported fruits from rambutan to Buddha’s hand. The seafood and meat departments are equally well-stocked with everything from house-made sausages to a variety of fresh oysters. A dizzying array of cheeses will dazzle even the most dedicated of fromage-philes, while the wine department’s extensive selection includes plenty of bargain-priced bottles. The in-house bakery bakes an impressive array of pastries, breads, and desserts, and even freshly made tortillas. Pretty much the only thing you won’t find at Central Market are lowbrow American staples like six-packs of Coke and Doritos. For such pedestrian fare, you’ll have to trek to your local megamart.

Dallas store director Michael Caufield oversees one of three Texas locations belonging to the Sunflower Farmers Market chain, a less-pricey alternative to Whole Foods and Central Market. The mission is much the same: to provide consumers with natural and organic foods for a healthier, more environmentally conscious lifestyle. The produce is fresh. Bulk options can be ground into varieties of butter (e.g., peanut and almond). The meat and seafood department sells Harris Ranch all-natural beef, Sunflower's own freshly made natural sausages as well as fresh catches. With the money saved pick up a bottle from the wine-and-beer section or a bouquet from floral department.

Founded in 1980 in Austin, this peddler of all-natural and organic produce and products features a wide range of Texas-grown foods, but if imported French butter is your thing, Whole Foods has that too. Each department's staff is knowledgeable, chipper and willing to hold your hand when indecision strikes. For example, the cheesemongers will take all the time you need when putting together a cheese plate for a dinner party with your boss. Most departments also offer prepared items, so when you've spent an hour wandering the aisles in search of dinner's ingredients and come up empty, grab a dinner-for-two package.

Founded in 1980 in Austin, this mega-peddler of all-natural and organic produce and products (including health and beauty) has stores that are easily navigable and in certain instances pricey. Cost aside, the inventory gives preference to local wares and fare, obvious by all the laminated rectangles touting "LOCAL." Of course, if imported French butter is your thing, Whole Foods has it stocked too. Each department's staff is knowledgeable, chipper and willing to hold your hand when indecision strikes.

The parking lot of this grocery store is typically jam-packed with Mercedes and BMWs, a sure sign that you’re about to enter the fancy-pants organic world of Whole Foods Market. This location isn’t the largest in Dallas, but an in-house bakery, meat and seafood counters with a focus on naturally raised and sustainable products, a fresh juice bar, an impressive international array of cheeses, an ultra-fresh salad bar, a huge selection of prepared foods, a massive (albeit pricy) produce selection and plenty of bulk bins ensure one-stop shopping for all the well-heeled neighborhood folks who flock here. The store also sells vitamins, supplements and personal care products, because sometimes you just need five different scents of goat’s-milk soap. An olive bar and a sushi counter round out the offerings and make it entirely too easy to drop a couple stacks on just one or two shopping bags.
