Small Business Review #1: The Cheese Stands Alone




The words simply don't exist to describe just how confused I was when I learned of my first assignment - to review a quaint little cheese shop in Lincoln Square called The Cheese Stands Alone. Good lord, what could be better? A store that sells nothing but cheese, what's to critique? While the bright orange walls and clean, modern graphics are sure to impress, the fact remains, they could be selling it out of the back of their truck for all I care. Let's face it, my dinner is the canine equivalent of eating porridge twice a day, unceremoniously served out of a stainless steel bowl on the floor. The proprietors, Matt and Sarah Parker, are really nice, quite interested in my cheese-eating habits. Great selection of cheeses from around the world -- highly recommended, I give it 5 paws!

Good Day and Good Cheese!

Favorite!!! Favorite!!! I am a DOG!

Cheese made by outlaw nuns from Mississippi would be just fine by this pup.

Seriously the Raw Cow's Milk Blue is out of this world!
