This week on Cutting the Curd, host Greg Blais is talking drunken cheese stories with guests Charlotte Kamin and Nate McEllroy of Bedford Cheese Shop, and Matt Rubiner of Rubiner’s Cheesemongers & Grocers. Kicking off the show trying to pry some crazy stories from the guests, Greg recalls a few times working slightly hungover and successfully encourages tales from there. Tune in for a fun episode and hear thoughts on the best, worst, and funniest cheese shop customers, as well as the guests’ favorite cheese and alcoholic pairings. This program was brought to you by The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board.
