"I am amazed at how many
of my friends go to Fairway (the one in Harlem) every week, purchase cheese on every visit
and have never once had a conversation with Steve Jenkins, one of the world's leading
authorities on cheese--or even with one of the other guys who works behind the cheese
counter (they all know quite a bit)..."
"Anchorage, Alaska:
"This city of 260,000 has finally caught up to the 20th century. There are
