Hometown: Philadelphia (Frankford neighborhood) Years at Di Bruno Bros.: 3+ His job: I specialize in aging flurry rind goat cheeses – Selles-sur-Cher, Saint Maure, Crottin de Chavignol. They require constant air and constant moisture – you’ve got to keep an eye on them or they’ll go under.

Few things are as romantic as sharing a cheese plate. You pour some wine, light some candles, and let the nibbling begin.

If you’re anything like me you have a number of things you will always find sitting in your refrigerator: Milk, eggs, your supply of beers (or wines depending on who you are), maybe that plastic container of Chinese you’ve forgotten about.
