Health Dept. regulations require a commercial kitchen and food handler card to cut and wrap items like cheese or salami on site. So for now, sometimes this is a first come, first served grab and go deal; sometimes the tempting lump rests in the fridge for a few days with a sign-up sheet on the door. Whatever works is fine. Parmesan is the favorite item for this transaction. If one wants to treat other foods the same way it's fine--I'm hoping for salami soon! 2010-01-10T18:43:13Z 4 What is the "cheese club"? 2010-01-10T18:43:13Z
