Savor the flavors of innovation and tradition as we whisk you away on a culinary journey where the future of food trends meets the age-old craft of cheese-making. Last week's gastronomic adventures had us reminiscing about Jefferson's flavorful excursion to Boston, the ingenuity of Chef Keith Sarasin duck à l'orange egg roll, and Chef Johnathan Rodriguez's foray into Supermarket Steakout. We're not just teasing your taste buds; we're preparing them for the big reveal of Jefferson's "The Craveable Cookbook" and hinting at mouth-watering collaborations on the horizon.
Take a seat at the table with Mark Maurer, the cheese maestro behind Solena Cheese, and indulge in the tale of his inspiring shift from Hilton executive to artisanal cheese advocate.

As we sample Solena’s finest, we're reminded that the story behind each bite is as rich as the cheese itself.
Wrap your palate around the delicious complexities of Oaxaca cheese, a stringy delight that's breaking free from its Mexican roots and making its mark in kitchens worldwide. We'll take you through the impact of single-origin milk, cow diets, and the art
