Getting ‘Cheesed’: 101

Apparently there’s more to GCDC than grilled cheese.  While the place has literally made its named off the ultimate in grilled and gooey goodness, DC’s go-to for GC insists there’s a chance for it to get even cheesier.

Enter the cheese course — but not the type you pair with wine… or decide on instead of dessert!  Instead, GCDC is launching a series of cheese classes this Fall, ranging from Cheese 101 (basics for novices,  hosted every Monday beginning in September) to Mozzarella-Making (first and third Wednesdays of the month).  You can even expect a Big Cheese — international cheesemonger Carlos Yescas, the preeminent expert on Mexican artisan cheese — who’s coming as a special guest.  $40 per person. Email sophie@grilledcheesedc.com to purchase a ticket. 

Could this post get any cheesier??  Cheese-lovers should know that GCDC is also working on bringing you some better cheddar (and gouda, and feta, and blue..), introducing the city’s first CSA for cheese: The DC Cheese Share.  A weekly buy-in program allows you to explore farmstead cheeses from near and far on a weekly basis, complete with tasting notes and drink pairing recommendations.
