While it in no way helps meet New Year’s resolutions of
dropping fat, cheese lovers can rejoice that this month celebrates National
Cheese Lover’s Day (January 20th). To mark the occasion, here’s a
look at where to get your cheese on in Flagstaff…
Taverna Greek Grill,
2420 Woodlands Village
Definitely the best presentation of cheese in town, Taverna’s
saganaki doesn’t disappoint. This dish consists of rich imported Kaseri cheese flambéed
at your table. It’s served with pita sections for a fancy pants and yummy app
that cheese fanatics must try.
Josephine’s Modern
American Bistro, 503 N. Humphreys St.
Take your love of cheese first class with the baklava baked
brie at Josephine’s. This appetizer wraps brie cheese, pistachios and orange
cardamom in a phyllo shell with just the right about of honey. The result is a
sweet but creamy treat to start your meal off right.
La Fonda Mexican Restaurant,
1900 N. Second St.
La Fonda’s cheese enchilada weekday lunch special(aka “G”)
is a tasty bargain at $7.50 for two of the best tasting cheese enchiladas in
town, rice, beans, a soda and sopapilla for dessert. Their enchilada sauce is
full of flavor but doesn’t burn your mouth down. It’s a perfect compliment to
the cheese melted inside the corn tortillas. It’s a must have weekly in my
book.
Brix, 413 N. San
Francisco
Enjoy a fine dining experience with the artisanal cheese
selections at Brix. Try the French Brillat Savarin, Californian Seascape,
Portuguese Palhais or one of the other carefully selected cheeses from across
the world. The plate of three to five of
your choices comes with poached apricots and house made lavosh. Add a glass of
one of their wonderful wine selections to complete your meal.
Beaver Street Brewery,
11 S. Beaver St.
Beaver Street has several must-trys for cheese devotees, two
of which are fondues. The Beaver Street Brewery Fondue is made with sharp cheddar,
caramelized onions and their Railhead Red Ale. The Whistle Stop Fondue is a
classic Swiss style dish with gruyere cheese, white wine and cherry brandy. Dip in the beer bread cubes and go to heaven. Beaver
Street’s third cheese-centered app of pure creaminess is the pesto cream cheese
dip made with fresh basil pesto and cream cheese baked in their wood-fired
oven. Mmmm. It’s served bubbling hot with crouton rounds and sourdough bread
slices.
Pizza Furiosa,
2500 S Woodlands Village
How could a cheese lovers roundup be complete without a
cheese pizza. Pizza Furiosa serves up a classic with a twist to delight those
who just want to enjoy melted cheesy goodness. The #8 tops their handmade crust
with mozzarella, asiago and parmesan cheeses. The flavors combine perfectly for
a salty, gooey gratification for your tastebuds.
