My long day to and from Marseille tomorrow means there will be no Fête du Fromage until later this week.
In the meantime I've compiled a short list of cheese shops with a little help from friends and family.
My husband's son and our computer expert, Zach, recommended his two favorites,
Murray's Cheese in New York's Greenwich Village and
DiBruno Brothers in Philadelphia.
I had completely forgotten until today, but I've been to Murray's Cheese in New York. A great shop!

Kate (who I've known since 3rd grade!) wrote me from her current home on gorgeous Whidbey Island, Washington. Her search for prosciutto led her to
Bayleaf, a duo of shops on the island that sell artisan cheese, wine and imported food. She's always had a great sense of humor and her blog,
Coupeville Chronicles, is Kate through and through!

Grilled Sausage and Peppers Sandwich with bread and butter pickle and crispy, salty potato chips at Cochon Butcher.
It wouldn't be New Orleans without Hubig's Pies.
Fried soft shell crab Po' Boy from Stanley. Dressed with spicy remoulade and coleslaw. Shake on some Crystal Hot Sauce, and you've got yourself one heck of a delicious, messy lunch!
A mere glimpse of the array of cheeses available at the St. James Cheese Company. They offer sandwiches, cheese plates, charcuterie plates and salads.
