raclette service
so around valentine’s day, we became obsessed with melted cheese. and i mean obsessed. gen & conan (the owners) went on a trip to nyc to eat all the cheese and came back in a whirlwind of energy and cheesy ideas. add a few days for shipping, and suddenly they’re up at the cheese counter, sly as cats, with these “party board” raclette melters, asking the mongers about everything we could possibly melt on them, and how soon?
here’s what we used (this time):

marieke fenugreek
& chevre a racler.
the marieke was definitely the most interesting, because the cheese naturally has this amazing maple flavor - and the smell was intoxicating (also it melted faster, so we could eat it faster). people in the restaurant came over and asked if they could just stand there and inhale. “sure” we said uneasily, wondering if we would have to share. (we did. it was fine. we just made more!)
our next challenge: how to get them to work on the patio. they’re a huge hit indoors (duh) but outside is a lil tricker. i have a feeling we’ll figure it out, though!
