Current favorite cheese: Challerhocker. It's fudgy and roasty and zippy and pairs with just about anything you throw at it — what more could you ask for?!
Current favorite shop item: Two-way tie between New York Shuk's shawarma spice blend and the Condimela barrel-aged apple cider vinegar from Italy, both of which have quickly become staples in my kitchen.
Fun fact: I was almost on Jeopardy in college.
