Charcuterie Lessons With Pittsburgh’s Cheese Queen
Building a charcuterie board is like creating a work of art with cheese, meats, fruits, and other colorful fixings. But where do you start? The City Cast Pittsburgh team took a field trip to The Cheese Queen’s brick-and-mortar in Mt. Oliver to learn the secrets to plating and pairing. Megan McGinnis, of the former local grocery family The McGinnis Sisters, shares what inspired her to become a cheese enthusiast and how she shares that love with Pittsburgh.
Celebrate The Cheese Queen’s first birthday tonight with other local woman-owned businesses at the Queens Market from 6-9 p.m., right beside her shop. The event features Polska Laska, Armful of Flowers, Brown Bear Bread, Ripepi Wineryand lots more.
