For food lovers, offerings of fine cheese are as fun to give as to receive. And who better to help you select one than Lara Mulchay, founder of WedgeFestUSA, owner of the defunct Petite Fromage, and advocate for American artisan and craft cheese.

Mulchay, along with husband Joel LaTondress, a computer programmer and foodnik (also the Amy’s Baking Company customer whose one-star review on Yelp sent the owner into her famous tirade), have launched an online pop-up shop via their company, Hotdish.
Featuring American-made farmstead and artisan cheeses, a variety of Creminelli salamis, and other quality foods, the duo’s virtual pop-up shop lets its website guests order anything from cheese and charcuterie gift boxes and baskets, catering platters, or individual cheese, carcuterie and other treats.
