Lactose intolerant customers beware, Burger King in Thailand is pushing the limits of dairy, dropping a new burger without any patty ... and 20 slices of cheese!!! This ain't a joke -- the Thai extension of the fast food company announced the "Real Cheeseburger" Sunday ... buns filled with nearly 2 dozen slices of American cheese. The chain's social media blast says the cheesy exclusive is only available until Thursday, and it's going for 109 Thai baht -- just over $3 USD. Folks in Thailand apparently couldn't wait to get their hands on a dietician's worst nightmare, with social media...

June 4 is National Cheese Day. Not to be confused with other popular cheese related holidays like grilled cheese day, cheesecake day, or mac and cheese day. This day is in reverence of the queen of all dairy, the big cheese. Cheese and its many varieties are celebrated on National Cheese Day on June 4. History of National Cheese Day Cheese making is an ancient, some might even say sacred, craft. So ancient in fact it predates recorded history. It is speculated that the magic of cheese making began somewhere around 8000BCE shortly after the domestication of animals. Archeological digs...

Delaney Irving, 19, who traveled from Canada to participate in the cheese chase, ran in a women-only round and didn't discover she had won the...

On this tasty day, take the opportunity to enjoy this French delight. #NationalCheeseSouffleDay A soufflé is a baked egg-based dish whose origins appear in France during the early 18th century.

The soufflé’s base consists of a French creme base made of...

Channel 3000 News ^ | May 9, 2023 | Logan Reigstadt
MINERAL POINT, Wis. -- Cutting the cheese isn't often considered a good thing, but to Tony Hook, it's the culmination of two decades of hard work. On Monday, Hook, the co-owner of Hook's Cheese Company in Mineral Point, cut up a 40-pound block of the company's 20-year aged white cheddar as dozens of community members watched the process unfold. Each batch of cheddar Hook's produces begins with the same recipe, Hook explained, but factors like the feed animals eat and weather conditions can lead to differences in the milk used. "We try to test every vat we make as we...

If there were ever two foods more made for each other than tortilla chips and melted cheese, aka nachos, we'd like to eat them. Nachos are sublime and the only thing better is Texas nachos. Why? Because so much TLC is taken to ensure each corn chip has the proper amount of refried beans, cheese, and a pickled jalapeno or two. Authentic Texas nachos are all about getting the details just right so every crispy, gooey bite has the same effect on your taste buds. And when it comes to the absolute type of cheese you use to sprinkle on...

A ham and cheese sandwich at Eli Zabar’s E.A.T. on the Upper East Side now costs $31.57 — $29 plus tax — and Gothamites are experiencing intense sticker shock over the cost of what was once a working-class staple. It sparked outrage among eaters when a Reddit thread with a photo of the sandwich captioned “$29 Ham and Cheese sandwich” drew more than 600 comments and 2,000 upvotes on Monday. “The first time I bought that sandwich I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ ” an Upper East Side psychologist who lives in the neighborhood told The Post, declining to give...

Mashed ^ | APRIL 13, 2021 | The Real Reason American Cheese Is Dying Shutterstock BY MARIA CRISTINA LALONDE
American cheese is dead. Millenials killed it. Some version of that sentiment has been circulating across social and traditional media outlets recently. But even if you're suspicious of Twitter and the press, the data is clear: American cheese is going the way of comb headbands and Crystal Pepsi. As Bloomberg points out, U.S. sales of American and other processed cheeses are expected to fall 1.6 percent this year, continuing a four-year slump in processed cheese sales. At American supermarkets, processed American cheese prices have dipped below $4 per pound for the first time since 2011. Meanwhile, at the Chicago Mercantile...

It's a somewhat mysterious science, figuring out the factors that encourage — or completely hulk-smash — a good night's sleep. Of course, there's an entire scientific industry dedicated to figuring it out, but we're all prone to make our own hypotheses based on personal experience. Plus, John Mayer said it best: Your body is a wonderland…and sometimes there's no telling what's going to happen when you eat that chunk of cheddar moments before hitting the pillow. Ok, John Mayer didn't say that last part, but a company called Sleep Junkie is digging into this very specific situation. Sleep Junkie's website...

January 20th is a gouda day to kummin over and have some cheddar or asiago or fontina! #CheeseLoversDay There is no firm evidence of how humans discovered cheese making. But legend tells us it was likely that someone created the first cheese by chance. Thousands of years ago, people transported milk and stored it in sheep’s stomachs. Left to sit a few days, the proteins would separate into curds and whey. From there, preserving the solids...

Disturbing footage posted online documents the moment an Ohio cop punches a woman multiple times in her face as she is being detained.

Hancock was reportedly sent to the hospital in the aftermath, where she was diagnosed with a head injury. The incident apparently came after Hancock got into a heated argument with McDonald's employees because she ordered a Big Mac with extra cheese but was handed a regular...

Cheese is rich and creamy, and it’s irresistible on a cracker, paired with a selection of fresh fruit, or sprinkled over a bowl of chili. There are many delicious reasons to love cheese, and Americans really do love it. The per capita consumption is 40 pounds a year, or a little over 1.5 ounces a day. As much as we love cheese, though, we’re a little afraid of it. When people talk about their fondness for cheese, it’s often in a guilty, confessional way, like “Cheese is my weakness.” But “cheese is packed with nutrients like protein, calcium, and phosphorus,...

Florida woman Amanda Ramirez is suing Kraft Heinz Foods Company after her cup of microwavable macaroni and cheese took longer than 3.5 minutes to be fully ready for consumption. snip In a class-action lawsuit filed on Nov. 18 in the U.S. District Court in Miami, Ramirez accuses Kraft Heinz of false advertising because her 2.39 ounce cup of Velveeta Shells & Cheese was not "ready in 3½ minutes" as its packaging claimed it would be, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported. The crux of the complaint is that customers are falsely led to believe the product will be ready for consumption...
