“Real Housewives of New York City” cast member, Bethenny Frankel made a recent visit to Dallas’ H-E-B’s Central Market and shared her praise and commentary for the store in a TikTok video, dubbing it “the best market” she’s ever visited in her life.
During her tour of the store, Frankel filmed herself commenting on desserts, fruits, cookware, candy, meats and other products lining the shelves.
“The Real Housewives of New York should do their promos here,” she said. “Love you Erewhon, but it’s not even a discussion like you can’t even compare anything to this. This is an experience. I’ve never seen a market like this in my life.”
After just one visit, she jokes about wanting to make the move to Dallas.
“I don’t want to go home, I want to live here.”
Afterward, Frankel shared her taste-testing video of two chocolate mousses. First, Anthony’s chocolate mousse cake earned a 12/10 on her rating scale and the parfait got a 7.5.
The two videos together got over half a million views, with over 2,000 comments.
“Anthony knows what’s up,” Central Market’s official TikTok commented on her video.
“Everything’s bigger in Texas, I’m proud to be here,” she said. “This is the number one supermarket I’ve ever been to in my entire life. Nothing compares, it’s out of control. It’s got everything that small, bespoken, curated European markets have, that Harrods has. It was overwhelmingly phenomenal.”
