Comté: How the Largest Small-Batch Cheese in France Is Made
A few weeks back, I went on an all-cheese all-the-time tour of Jura, the Eastern region of France bordering Switzerland where Comté is produced. Think it was all fun and games? You try eating Comté five times a day for an entire week. Tiring, to say the least, though delicious nonetheless. If you're more the sit-back-and-relax type, just watch this short video and for a slightly more in-depth look at Comté cheese production, read on.A Sandwich a Day: The Chile Relleno Torta from La Verdad in Boston
La Verdad, the Fenway Park taqueria, wouldn't be the first place to come to mind if someone asked me to name the best Ken Oringer restaurant, what with Clio, Uni, Toro, Coppa, and now Earth in Maine to contend with. But ask me for a favorite Ken Oringer dish, and top seed would probably go to La Verdad's Chile Relleno Torta ($9.95). It's crazy good. So good that every time I eat it, I mentally slap myself on the back of the head for having waited so long since the last time.Snapshots from Dijon: Torsade Flammande from Boulangerie Paul
This is a breadstick that will surely haunt my dreams, and perhaps one worth even attempting to replicate at home. Imagine a torpedo-shaped roll of the best quality—open-textured, chewy, crusty French bread—then stud that bread with oozing pockets of melted emmenthal and salty nuggets or mimolette, the cantaloupe-shaped cheese from Lille. Sharp and salty, with a Parmesan-like texture, mimolette is colored bright-orange with annatto and has a mottled surface that's been treated with cheese mites introduced to add their distinct hazelnut-scented aroma.Snapshots from Jura, France: Cows, Comte Cheese, Charcuterie, and More
Last week I traveled around the Jura region of France. You can expect a whole slew of Francocentric coverage on what I ate, drank, poked, prodded, and otherwise documented on this awesome trip to the land of cheese and wine. Here's a quick overview of the wide range of tasty comestibles from the Jura region: Comte cheese, charcuterie, and more.My Latest Obsession: Polder Gold Aged Goat Cheese from Henri Willig
Polder Gold aged goat cheese from Henri Willig produces the same crunchy, ultra-savory crystals as aged Gouda, all with the distinct sour and grassy tang of goat's milk.Snapshots from Amsterdam: The Best Street Food
There's an excellent snacking culture in Amsterdam, fueled, no doubt, by the equally excellent drinking and consuming-of-other-legal-narcotics culture. Snack bars line most of the major shopping and socializing districts, while kiosks, stands, and carts can be found serving everything from chicken sandwiches and bitterballen (Dutch croquettes) to hot dogs and Vlaamse frites (Flemish fries).A Sandwich a Day: Almost Grilled Cheese from Con Pane in San Diego, CA
Con Pane's "Almost Grilled Cheese" ($4.35 for a half; $6.75 for the whole) relies on three basic ingredients: triple cream French brie, crumbled gorgonzola, and rosemary olive oil bread. Instead of being pan-fried in butter as with many grilled cheese sandwiches, it's oven-roasted, which warms the cheeses and delicately toasts the bread. Fresh roma tomatoes are an optional extra, but let's be honest—they're a must because they take the edge off the cheese and add a much needed note of sweetness.8 Grilled Cheeses in America We Love
