My job as the valley's resident blogger is to bring you the hidden gems that are generally off the beaten path. We all know that Nozawa has delicious sushi, Aroma Cafe is an awesome breakfast/lunch spot, and that Casa Vega is a dark enough venue to be drunk and unrecognizable - so there really isn't any point in me blogging about them.
But I literally couldn't sleep at night knowing that I haven't given a shout out to the Artisan Cheese Gallery. I mean, this place holds such a special spot in my triple cream heart- I just can't ignore it any longer.
Proudly displayed on Ventura Boulevard, Artisan Cheese Galley is a crack den for cheese and food lovers alike. Yes, their cheese selection is extraordinary and the service could not be friendlier- but let's get serious here and talk about their insanely yummy sandwiches. Dilly Egg Salad, Prosciutto & Brie, Duck Confit, Garlic Roasted Lamb, Bacon & Cheddar....the list is endless. Although, the star of the show in my not so humble opinion is the ACG Muffaletta. This delicious creation is filled with salami, spicy capacolla, mortadella, fresh mozzarella, olive relish & dijon mustard. (Excuse me, you're drooling) Top that off with a glass of Pinot Noir (yes, they serve vino) and you are not allowed to complain about anything, ever.
If you are having a dinner party or just a people who want to eat cheese party, I highly recommend their incredible platters adorned with nuts and dried fruit. You surely can't step foot in the Hollywood Bowl this summer without a basket of goodies from The Artisan Cheese Gallery.
