Sporting events are not generally known as places where you can find a good deal on food. For the most part, going to a a major league sporting event involves paying far more for a sandwich or slice of pizza than you would nearly everywhere else. One exception to this is The Masters, where you can purchase a pimento cheese sandwich for $1.50. A recent article in The New York Times dubbed the Amen Corner concession stand at Augusta National Golf Club “one of the great bargains in sports.” But even something as delicious as a pimento cheese sandwich isn’t without its related controversies. A new article by Luke Fater at Atlas Obscura explores an unexpected scandal involving the cheese sandwiches in question. Reading this, you might wonder if pimento cheese can spark a scandal; rest assured, it can. At the heart of the matter is the pimento cheese recipe developed by Nick Rangos. The cheese available in Rangos’s South Carolina establishment Woodruff Drug was so highly regarded that The Masters came calling, hiring Rangos in the 1960s. That working relationship lasted for 45 years, before the tournament opted to work with another vendor. Rangos, frustrated by this decision, kept his recipe to himself. History then repeated itself: Ted Godfrey, who followed Rangos, figured out Rangos’s recipe (or something that tasted virtually identical to it) — only to also withhold that recipe when The Masters again opted to work with a different source of cheese (in this case, handling concessions in-house) in 2013. Tournament attendees hadn’t noticed the changeover from Rangos to Godfrey, but they did notice this one — and it’s been hotly debated among golf fans and cheese devotees ever since.

They got hookers in tents with beer and scotch on the 9th hole and this is a controversy?!!
golf truly is a gentleman’s game...
The best pimento cheese is at Buccees. They call it Chimento because they use chipotle peppers to give it a little bit of a kick.
I like it for breakfast, fried crisp with a couple of over-medium eggs alongside. Livermush sandwiches are good, too, though you might be thinking of liverwurst, which is quite different.
With all the contrived “Woke’ controversies, I expected the Left to claim palmetto cheese sandwiches were forced to made by, or stolen from slaves, Indians, women, homos(Put aggrieved here).
Yes, it’s gotten that bad that even food cannot be discussed without offending somebody.
yer talking scrapple
I knew that was coming sooner or later!..................
You didn’t miss much.................
I make mine similarly. I roast my own peppers and use 3 cheeses...one is pepper jack. A little Tabasco to taste. Serve it on buttered and toasted croutons like a crostini.
they got a taco shop in the pilot..
FIRST THING I thought of.
I love the absolute randomness of that scene
hey, elwood has a heart..
We stopped in to the, brand new at the time, Bucky’s on I-10 in Alabama. Not impressed, but the crowd was huge for some reason..............
It reminded me of a combination CEFCO and a Cracker Barrel.................
I hear the UConn cafeteria has some absolutely rockin Mac and Cheese
The van broke down.
First of all, they’re spelling it wrong. It’s pimiento. There’s an i in the middle, but most Americans don’t pronounce it. They say pimento, and then tend to spell it the way they say it. Same with poinsettias. Americans don’t pronounce the i near the tail end of the name. And how important is all that? About like a fart in a hurricane. But I still thought I’d point it out. No charge.
I suggest you seek that out!
