Last of the Cheese

Two cute snippets of media loose ends to tie before we take an indefinite hiatus from blogging about cheese. We promise.

As previously mentioned, Hot Knives performed a gooey, live demo art show presentation called "How To Be a Fucking Grilled Cheese …

Mannequin Piss

Meyer lemons, orange zest, grapefruit flesh. Naw, those aren't the fruit slices we recommend dangling on the rim of this Belgian wit bier - they're already deep down in there. That triumverate citrus haze of Blanche de Bruxelles makes it a perfect spr-ummer …

The 'French Onion Soup' Sammy

In April, we placed in our third Grilled Cheese Invitational with two winning sandwiches. One of them was this Belgian-beer-infused French Onion Soup sandwich -- made all the more special because it came about by clairvoyant collaboration. Simmered with …
