Last night I had a chance to attend the exclusive media preview of the The Cheeses of France Pop-Up Café on 159 Bleecker Street in NYC. On the menu was a vast selection of French cheese, as well as American dishes prepared by Top Chef contestant Ash Fulk.
Upon entering the space, I spoke to food sculptor named Krai as he etched flowers into a cheese wheel. He explained he started the food sculpting in Thailand with fruits, and he’s moved on to other foods, like cheese. Here are photos of his gorgeous works of art.

I also tried many delicious cheeses and cured meats, as well as creations from Ash Fulk, like Three Cheese Mac n Cheese, Comté Mac n Cheese, spring salads, and a variety of grilled cheese sandwiches. Here are photos from the event.
