Cheesemonger Chat with Ali Morgan: Spreading the Curd
by Steven Doyle
We might justly be accused of having our favorite people in Dallas that regardless of what sort of spirits we might be in, they always manage to make us smile. Ali Morgan from Scardello is just such a person. We caught up with Ali for a late night beer and she was pleased to grant a short interview.
We wanted to chat with Ali not only about cheese, but another obsession of hers — beer. When she discusses either topic her face lights up with excitement, and offers a bit of a giggle. We also wanted to chat with her about her ink obsession on the heels of her latest tat session which we sat in on. Continue reading

Scardello Dinner Hints at Campo Menu
by Steven Doyle
Last night Rich Rogers, cheesemonger and owner of Scardello, rolled out the red carpet and polished the house silver as he hosted his first guest-chef dinner at the cheese boutique.

Last night’s dinner sold out in mere minutes after Rogers sent out the information to his customers via the store’s email list. Scardello hosts many events through out the year, including chocolate and cheese pairings, cheese classes and other food-tainment themed evenings at the Oak Lawn shop. Continue reading

Texas Bloombonnet
by Lance Lynn
Last month I introduced you to Eric and Karen from Caprino Royale down in Waco, one of the most promising young farmstead operations in the state. Last weekend, we got to visit their farm as part of our annual cheese tour (see Steven’s article for a complete roundup of the day). One of the highlights of the trip for me was getting to see where they make Caprino’s fantastic new addition to their lineup: the Texas Bloombonnet. A beautiful bloomy rind goat button, Bloombonnet is easily enjoyable all on its own, but the cheese is all the more impressive when you know some background about the difficult and inspired path that led to its creation.

Scardello Cheese Tour Visits Waco

This past weekend was full of excitement, and the Scardello Cheese Tour that visited several Waco cheese makers was certainly a highlight.

The group met at Northpark Mall and embarked on a journey to Waco at 9am sharp arriving at the general store next to the Brazos Valley Cheese factory at Homestead Farms where we met up with head cheese maker Marc Kuehl who would be our guide for most of the morning. Continue reading

Scardello Cheese Tour Saturday
Butterscotch
by Crave Staff
As you are all aware the staff at Crave loves a good tour. We will be joining the crew at Scardello as they whisk away a busload of cheese-eaters to Waco. The Caprino Royale Bloombonnet is one of editor Steven Doyle’s favorite local cheeses, so we are sure he will be back with a fistful of stories to tell. There are still available seats for the tour. Here are the details from Scardello’s website: Continue reading
