“We cut everything, all of the cheeses to order in our store. It's not something that's pre-cut and cryovaced in some far off factory.”
Ron says food tends to be cyclical. With the popularity of so many cooking shows, more and more people are venturing back into the kitchen.
The Better Cheddar staff is ready to lead you to whatever you might need for a simple family dinner, or your next dinner party.
“We just take them by the hand and walk the through the store and help them select what you need for your party,” Shalinsky said.
Don't think you're a chef? They say never fear. Even a small addition to a nice dinner can make you stand out from the crowd. For example, Shalinsky says start with a different appetizer.
“Of course cheese makes a perfect appetizer,” he says. “There are a lot of ready-made things in jars, like tapenade, pickled vegetable, and others -- things that make great appetizers that you don't have to do anything, just open up and put out.”
If you can't find what you're looking for, The Better Cheddar will try and find it. They're constantly changing their inventory based on trade shows, trends and customer suggestions.
If you're looking for a good suggestion on wine to go with that cheese, check out Better Cheddar's wine tastings each Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. at their Plaza location.
