| Say, "Queso"! |
Petaluma, CA
Years before I was introduced to flaming Saganaki while interning in Chicago, I would nuke slices of Monterey Jack cheese in my grandma's microwave. The "new" texture was so silky and indulgent, I wanted to eat all of my cheese that way (or so I thought).
Fast forward to 2008, when I tried my first "Squeeze with Cheese" at Sacramento's original Squeeze Inn, breaking off portions of the burger's famous "cheese skirt"; from then on, that's how I wanted to eat all of my cheese.
Let's face it: cheese is awesome. It's luscious, hearty, savory, delectable and nourishing all at once. Apples are sexier when accompanied by bleu cheese. Taken to your next cocktail party, Brie en Croute (although simple to assemble) will make you look like an expert pastry chef. And, a simple grilled cheese made with Wonder Bread and Kraft Singles seems to always satisfy.
Cheese is an art. This event will bring together dairy farmers, cheesemakers, merchants, chefs and more. Take a farm tour, learn to evaluate cheese like a pro, and see what it takes to produce local favorites. Educate yourself on how to pair beers and wines with your fromage of choice. Then, indulge at the Sunday marketplace, shopping and tasting your way through more than 70 artisan producers.
You'll never buy canned spray cheese again! Well, maybe.
