I’m not kidding, someone said that to me. And it was one of the sexiest off-beat comments I’ve heard lately.
Yes, an entire tent dedicated to CHEESE.
On Saturday, my Wisconsin Badgers were playing Northern Illinois University at Soldier Field and I was fortunate enough to get tickets to the game and a Badger pre-game tailgate.
The tailgate had beer, brats, sandwiches, cookies, chips and cheese. But, given that I’m from a cheese-fanatic state, a local cheese company had an entire tent dedicated to cheese, separate from the other food and beverage tents.
The minute the woman at check-in told us about it, I was off like a shot. I may be muttered, “I want to go to there,” and then quickly started scanning the crowd, full of red-dressed Badger fans.
Of course, the cheese tent was a little hidden (no doubt to control the crowds) but when I saw it, I had to photograph the awesome-ness of this moment.
If you couldn’t tell, I love cheese. LOVE IT. I’ve been known to demolish a cheese plate at a party with only carnage left behind. It happens.
Here are some photos of this mecca:
Cheese tent, I want to go to there
No surprise, Cheddar was the most popular
And of course, the best way to tailgate is a plate of cheese and a beer, clearly, I took advantage of both.
I love the Midwest
How was your weekend?
