Good Food, Num!

One thing I missed while I was wintering in Santa Fe, New Mexico was the cheese department in Lund's grocery store. Santa Fe now has Whole Foods and Trader Joe's but no Byerlys or Lunds. Growing up in Wisconsin, cheese is a staple.

Washington, DC is to lying what Wisconsin is to cheese.”

  3. That is an impressive collection of cheese. I've experienced Byerly's but, haven't been to a Lund's.

  4. Boy, that's a cheesy comment by Miller!

    Lund's is a nice store. Byerly's is fun but provocatively expensive. I guess that's why I like to shop there when visiting the cold northlands!

  5. The New Yorker once featured "The Wisconsin Cheese Board Cookery Book"

    Cheese omelette was "3 eggs, 4lbs cheese"....

  8. We don't have Whole Foods or Trader Joe's here in Jackson. And I doubt if we'll ever have them. The Kroger has a nice international cheese selection though. I could definitely be from Wisconsin!!

  9. I grew up in Wisconsin, the son of parents both raised on dairy farms! We all love cheese and hate, hate margarine! Butter is better! My dad was even state FFA president with a fancy blue corduroy jacket!
