I'd never been quite so amazed as when I saw a Dean & Deluca in Charlotte. It's a little piece of New York set up in the south. Delicious baked goods, try the Macaroon Madness it's so good I got mad! So good that after tasting it the lady in front of me got one too and she didn't even want a bag because she knew she was going to handle it immediately.
The sandwiches are fresh, the people are pleasant and it's a shame they don't have one in LA.
