🧀 'You don’t see that many Black mongers...it felt like there was a fear or fascination there, when certain customers refused to approach the counter.'-Alisha Norris Jones | mikesula 📷 Matthew Gilson👇
“Cheese is a picture of cooking and science that has evolved over hundreds of years,” says the Boston native who moved to Chicago in 2010 to study religion and anthropology at DePaul. “It’s a picture of culture.”
The cheese case at Whole Foods is called the cheese coffin, because you can fit a dead body in it. It’s that big and deep. I was dealing with way more cheeses than the ten at the most at PQM. It’s just a wonderland to play in. I loved being able to taste through whatever I needed to taste through and get into the rhythm of cheese care. That felt really soothing, being able to work with this product and then being able to leave and not think about the pressures of working a 300-cover brunch.
I got to work at James Beard Award-winning restaurants and that wasn’t normal seven years ago. But I wish it was a bit more normal. In order for folks to be more comfortable going for these positions and eating this food, they need to see people that look like me on the other side of the counter. You can look like me and still do this thing and do a great job. It’s not like a white thing.
At Marz, I was learning how to slice things myself, learning how to make jams, ganache, all that stuff on the fly. [During the pandemic] they started doing farmers’ markets. Ed [Marszewski’s] like, “I have a kitchen, and you can use all your accounts. Do you want to sell some cheese plates?” That’s when Immortal Milk began.
One of the reasons I now have a salary job is because Instagram changed everything; like way less engagement. In general, it’s kind of dead. And the folks that were the most dedicated now are burnt out, because there’re only so many times that you can deal with a frustrated customer, or someone not really listening to you, or not getting the concept of something and wanting to show up at your house in the middle of the night.Credit:The boards I was turning out were beautiful.
