For anyone who lives in the Northeast and is familiar with a grocery store called Wegmans, we (I say this because I work there) have a product called a pretzel roll. It's located by the donuts/muffins/bagels in the in store bakery. They're deep brown with an X cut across the top and there's real pretzel salt on them. They taste like a thick doughy soft pretzel. I overheard a customer yesterday buying them and saying to her husband "These taste just like the pretzel bread from Le Cellier". My ears are tuned for any Disney reference. I've never had the real stuff, but I've had our version and they're great. Just thought I'd let you guys know in case you wanted to try them out and maybe get a little taste of "home"

Thanks for the hint. I'll look at our 2 grocers here. Can't say I've tried them at LeCellier either, between the Cheddar Soup, my steak and the Chocolate mousse, there isn't much room for a pretzel.

Every post that mentions the pretzel bread at LC says it's amazing. These rolls are awesome too, I know a lot of people that dunk them in soup, and we've used them in my dept (I work in the speciality cheese dept) for a pairing with some german cheese.

Better yet, cross the border and come to Canada where you can get everything that's offered at Le Cellier! I'm just not sure about the availability of Alberta beef in Ontario, particularly Toronto, but since this amazing city offers food from around the world, there are butchers here that also have beef from Alberta. (Personally, I prefer Ontario beef...)

We love Wegman's!!! Any new stores opening in and around the metro Phila. area? 35 miles to the closest Wegman's is a little far for groceries even if it is Wegman's.

I live in CT and never heard of that store?/??

Wegmans orginated in Rochester, New York which is about a couple hours from Buffalo

I have to settle for the soft pretzels that are in the frozen food aisle in Publics. They don't quite make the grade compared to Le Cellier, but they do enhance the taste of homemade ceddar cheese soup.

Kellie- exactly right
Dag- it's just like Kellie said, we're a Rochester based grocery store. Very family oriented because it started out as a family run business. Rapidly expanding through the northeast and east coast. Right now the area they're expanding into is Boston and the surrounding area so it might end up close to you.
DisneyCrazy- not sure how close they'll get to you, last new one in PA I heard about was Collegetown/ville (can't remember the exact name)

Anyone know where I can get Lobster oil? It's in a recipe from Le Cellier that I obtained last trip but I can't find the oil anywhere. It's made in Canada.

[LockShockBarrel]

Google tells me there's a website called lobsteroil.com and there's also a link for a recipe To Make Lobster Oil Recipe at Epicurious.com

[KitKat66]

You rock! Thanks for the info. I have visited this website and there's no way to purchase the oil. (I'm trying not to have to make it myself). Call me lazy...
Thanks for your help.

Ohhhh Wegmans... I don't know how I survived without you. I bought some pretzel rolls the other night from Wegmans actually. They're good at Wegmans, a little different than Le Cellier, but close enough!!!

The funny thing is whenever we have training meetings regarding customer service, someone ALWAYS (ok its usually me) brings up Disney as the prime example, but I recently found out that in similar meetings at Disney, people who are familiar with Wegmans have used us as an example of good customer service.

Granted this can be a bit of a double edged sword, and why I really try to treat the CM's the best I can, because when you're known for the customer service, people try to take advantage and get very demanding. LOL but I'm sorry Mr Rude Customer, I looked in back and there is no more of the product you're looking for and that I can't magically wave my wand and make it appear so you'll leave me alone, nor am I hiding it from you so I can buy it.

Thanks for the tip! I will be stopping at Wegman's on the way home from work. I'll also be sure to pick up one of their heat and serve cheese soups to go along with the rolls. A few years back, my wife had requested the recipie for the muchroom filet mignon with mushroom risotto. The server took her email address and one of the chefs emailed her the recipie a few days later. Unfortunately, her hard drive crashed before she printed it out and we lost it. We'll have to request it again next trip.
