| - When I want a vegetable-based lunch (or the best faux curried chicken salad in town), it's an easy (if a bit pricey) choice to hit up the deli counter at Earth Fare. For $7.99 you get a main dish and two sides. With multiple different options for quinoa, couscous and veggie salads, I'm a happy camper. The servers will let you sample anything and I've found the taste and quality to be superb. I also love the large selection of bottled teas available at the open-faced coolers.
I think they also have the best soups in Charlotte. There are usually four selections set up for tasting, and I have yet to be disappointed. On cold nights, the wife and I can pick up a quart and call it a satisfying dinner. Thai Chicken is my favorite.
This is also, easily, the best place to buy artisan cheese in all of Charlotte, especially since the infestation of Boar's Head deli products into our local grocery scene. The cheese selections are laid out from extra creamy to hard and dry. They make a point to carry a number of different producers, both local and international. Fancy cheese may not be cheap here, but they make up for it with some quality selections. I have found the workers at this counter to be experts at making recommendations too.
Definitely pull out your gold card if you do a little more shopping here, but you just can't argue with the quality.
