Hey Folks,

I have a friend I’d like you to meet: Michael Kast, proprietor of the North Market’s premier cheese emporium, “Curds & Whey.”

You’ve seen his picture on this blog already – his shop is, as I pointed out a while back, just a few steps from the Joy of Soy shop - where Sarah Asher, “Ukulele Girl,” can often be found.

Thanks to my young English pen-pal, James, I recently started on a quest to discover REAL cheese (not totally unrelated to my earlier quest to discover the proper pronunciation of “provolone” [pro-voe-LOW-neigh] as documented in the archives – more of a language endeavor).

Being totally ignorant (except in regard to Velveta and Homer Simpson individually wrapped slices), it was trial and error for a while. I wandered here and there, catching as catch can, and then I found the friendly, helpful owner of “Curds & Whey.”

Now I can relax, knowing that when I’ve finally devoured my latest adventure in cheese-dom, I can drop by the North Market again, and Michael will guide me to my next dairy delight.

In addition to that, Mike’s shop offers a complete array of CaJohn’s Gourmet hot sauces.

I’m tellin’ ya, CaJohn’s “Chipolte” hot sauce is to die for. Hot enough, but not too hot - no vinegar twang - just a rich, warm, and tasty accent to your meal. AND it’s created right here in central Ohio!

My son Travis lives in Manchester, New Hampshire He knows I like hot foods and when I visited at Christmas time he presented me with three different bottles of hot sauce.

Guess what!! The three hot sauces he bought me there in Manchester, New Hampshire, were ALL CaJohn creations, created right here in Columbus, Ohio.

Check them out at Curds & Whey – especially CaJohn’s “Chipolte” sauce. It’s great on whatever treat you’re having along with Michael’s superb cheese!

Stop by the shop and tell Mike the Uke Man sent you.
He'll smile.


- Uke Man
