Author Gordon Edgar
Gordon Edgar will appear at Northtown Books to talk about his new book, Cheddar: A Journey to the Heart of America's Most Iconic Cheese. Cheddar is one man’s picaresque journey to find out what a familiar food can tell us about ourselves. Since cheddar—with its diversity of manufacturing processes and tastes—is such a large umbrella, it is the perfect food through which to discuss many big food issues that face our society. Author Gordon Edgar (Cheesemonger: A Life on the Wedge) is well equipped to take readers on a tour through the world of cheddar. For more than fifteen years he has worked as an iconoclastic cheesemonger in San Francisco, but his sharp talent for observation and social critique were honed long before then, in the world of ’zines, punk rock, and progressive politics. His fresh perspectives on such a seemingly common topic are as thought-provoking as they are entertaining. There will be cheese samples courtesy of Cypress Grove too!
