I don't know the answer on the Dr. Kraker-like crackers. They do look and taste exactly the same to me. No one in retail likes a monopoly - it tends to keep things expensive (or lose money for the retailer). Your HEB should still carry both, but it's likely the Dr. K's have been moved to a less prominent location. I find them all to be terribly hard, but I do like the new Dr. K graham cracker ones a lot.
Did you see the new CM shortbreads? yum! In the imported cookie section.
And not CM, but some heb delis are going to be testing some all-natural ham and turkey items starting next month, so keep your eye out for those.

John,
That's a different "Central Market." Ours is in Texas only. See the following link:

My local Price Chopper Supermarket in upstate New York has been carrying Central Market products for awhile now. I only recently decided to try some, however, based on this thread. The products they carry are limited. I bought some cheddar crackers and asiago crackers. The asiago crackers were good, although the cheddar were all spice and no cheddar flavor. While they weren't bad, I was looking for cheddar. I also bought a variety of stuffed olives. They were ok. I'll keep an eye out for the Italian sodas.
Price Chopper used to carry President's Choice products from Canada. Now that is a quality line!

I tried the pomegranate soda yesterday, it is ok, but over all the blood orange one is still my favorite by far.
I also noticed that they not only have duck fat, but they have two different products. One from Grimaud Farms and one form D'artagnan. Needless to say the latter one is much much more expensive (like 4X more than the Grimaud). For my money the Grimaud farms one is perfect at 3.99/lb, it makes awsome confit. Another item I was both surprised and glad to see is French goose fat! Imported and for about $5/lb. I have not trie dthis yet, but will soon.

i know it's kind of an abomination to ask about frozen pizzas on a website like this, but i have to say that i really enjoy the CM frozen pizzas, especially the quatro formaggi one.
to those who have ventured into CM frozen pizza territory, what are your opinions of it?

Interesting you brought this up. A friend of mine just completed his comprehensive examinations for a PhD program (yay Josh!), and when I brought over some food to sustain him, I noticed box after box of CM pizza in his freezer. He reports that it is quite tasty and crisps up nicely. Although, he was glad to have homemade food that I brought over, so he wouldn't have to live on them for a whole week.
I plan on trying one shortly.

I have been enjoying the blood orange soda lately with vodka. I also buy the Central Market brand butter.

The Central Market branded Olive Oil at 4.99 per 500 ml is quite good.
Anyone else find something interesting?

Their white cheddar popcorn is quite good as well. I've been pleased with most all the Central Market products I've tried.
