A Cheesy Week Ahead
The American Cheese Society is rolling into town this week for their 25th Anniversary conference at the Chicago Hilton. What makes this special for you, the general public/cheeselover? Let me count the ways:
- Festival of Cheese, Saturday (7/26) at the Hilton. For the $85 ticket price, you'll peruse and gobble over 1,000 artisan and specialty cheeses from producers throughout North America; all the stuff you'll eat has been entered in the Society's Annual Competition, also held this week, so you know it's not going to be Velveeta on a frilly toothpick. Drinks and other foodstuffs (my guess is it's crackers, bread and red grapes) also provided.
- Cheese Sale @ the Dining Room at Kendall College (900 North Branch) on Sunday (7/27). Entries from the Society's Annual Competition will be available for purchase from 10am-1pm. Proceeds from the cheese sale benefits the ACS Cheesemaker Scholarship Fund (let's help a kid with a dream, people).

Regarding the Cheese Sale:
Do you know if non conference attendees can go to the sale at Kendall College? That link didn't say...
