Intro & Triple Cream Brie!

Great Tasting food can be utterly euphoric. Ask anyone who knows me well and they'll tell you how much I love food. I am open minded about food and love to cook. I also love to eat out. Having worked in the service industry as a waitress, bartender and hostess I have fairly high standards of what service should be like. In this blog I will write about all things related to food from restaurants I like and dislike, recipes I've cooked and tried, great foods and where to find them along with fun cooking gear.
I am also here to learn more about food so please post ideas and comments!

With that said I figured the best way to open a blog would be with my favorite food!
A "favorite" I would categorize as something I never get bored of and can always eat unless I'm completely stuffed.

CHEESE, CHEESE, CHEESE

Next time you eat out at a restaurant that offers a cheese plate, please order it!! This is the most incredible way to sample some really amazing selections at a fair price. They usually offer a selection of 3, 5, or 7. If I bought 4 great cheeses from Whole foods I could spend around $50-60 bucks. Most cheese plates range around $10-20.

My new obsession is Triple Cream Brie. This stuff is utter decadence. Buttery, smooth, and mild cheese. In the past month I have tried 2 that are impeccable.

Pierre Robert (tried at The House in NYC)
Brillat-Savarin (tried at Tribeca Grill NYC)

Both come from the same cheese makers Robert Rouzaire and Pierre of the Seine et Marne region.
Pierre Robert is my favorite. It is a touch creamier and rightfully so as it is the succession of Brillat-Savarin. Both taste great with a muscat which happens to be one of my favorite desert wines :)
