I need to talk about Central Market on Lovers Lane and I need to talk about BP and I need to talk…read moreabout the produce section and I only have so many words so let's move. The produce section first because if I do not address it immediately I will think about it the whole time. Walking into the Central Market produce section is the closest a grocery store has ever come to making me feel like a child at Disney World. Not Disney World adjacent. Not Disney World inspired. Full Disney World. There are colors happening in that produce section that I did not know vegetables were capable of. Heirloom tomatoes in seventeen shades. Peppers that look like they were designed by an artist who was told to make a pepper but make it fashion. Mushrooms with names I cannot pronounce displayed like they are artifacts from a civilization that understood fungi better than we do. I have walked in there for one specific item and come out forty minutes later with things I have never cooked before and a quiet optimism about my future in the kitchen that has not always proven accurate but always feels real in the moment. I went once just for garlic. One head of garlic. I left with dragon fruit, three kinds of fresh pasta, a bunch of herbs that required me to look up two of them when I got home, and a wheel of cheese that I told myself was practical. It was not practical. I regret nothing. Now BP. BP runs the prepared foods counter at Central Market Lovers Lane and is the reason I sometimes drive there when I am not even hungry. BP was a high school math teacher in California for years. Years. Shaping young minds, writing equations on whiteboards, presumably grading papers on weekends with the quiet resignation of someone who has chosen a noble and exhausting profession. And then at some point BP looked at California, looked at Dallas, made a decision, and moved. He did most of the moving himself. I want you to think about that. This man, who spent years teaching mathematics, looked at a truck full of his belongings and said I will handle this personally. The kind of move that requires a certain stubbornness and also a pretty solid understanding of spatial reasoning which, given the math background, he had covered. BP is now behind the prepared foods counter at Central Market and is genuinely one of the warmest humans I have encountered on either side of a deli case. He talks to you like he has time, which in a prepared foods counter context is unusual and should be protected at all costs. He knows what is good that day. He will tell you. You should listen. Excellent store. Exceptional produce section. BP is the best part of the prepared foods counter and possibly of Lovers Lane entirely.

The uncle that works there treats us like family that one day I forgot my wallet and he gave me the items for free, just because he knew us and knew this doesn't happen on the time. Of course my parents did pay him back for his generosity but the fact he gave it with an open heart made an impact on me personally. The place is clean and some times can be overwhelming with all the items but the staff members are loving. The food is amazing and the catering service has not let us down. Here and there food taste might lack depending on how busy they are that day but on the good days they have shown their talent in cooking. They were also our go to for Indian cosmetics and they do have most items imported from India. I personally recommended, they are loving and caring enough be helpful.

You can order online or call ahead. I called her last Saturday morning (more last minute) and she had my order ready for pickup by afternoon. My friend connected me to Amor y Queso as she brought a cheeseboard to my house over the holiday break and we loved it!! The assortment of cheese will fit all likings and everything is so fresh and arranged beautifully. I got to meet Sarah during my pickup and she's so sweet and was super welcoming into her store. Highly recommend ordering, catering or swinging by Amor y Queso in Deep Ellum! Her charcuterie boards are perfect for parties, gifts and snacking!!
