Pete's Cheese


I cruised downtown on Sunday to see my friend Mathew read his poetry to crazy music a la David Bowie stuck in a shopping mall. At one point in the reading, which was sponsored by the Brooklyn, N.Y.-based publication Greetings, Mathew affected a Valley Girl accent and praised Bowie's gift "to accessorize." Right after Mathew finished, I had to accessorize my tummy with some food. My pal Bruna, who is a noted poet in her own right, and I went to Pete's Bar and Cafe, where we indulged in the cheese flight with the recommended shiraz. The Brie and blue cheese were fine, though I would have liked to pair the latter with some honey. I was surprised by the pungency of the mustard cheese, which was chock full of mustard seeds. I liked how the cook froze the Thompson seedless grapes. The iced fruit did a great job in cleaning the palate.
