I stayed a weekend with my friends Mark and Sydney in Ottawa, Canada. They made this one themselves. I went with them to buy the stuff, but I can’t say I had much input in the components of it. I do love the little mouse knives.

This can only be described as “brie nachos.” It was positioned as a dessert. Somewhere in Montreal.

Fine-looking plate at an event in Montreal. The French know a thing or two about cheese.

A fine cheese and meat plate at the offices of Yext in New York City. They brought it in for a meeting (clearly, they knew I was going to be there).

My wife bought this at the local liquor store. It was pre-packaged, but really good. I ate it while she beat me at Catan. Twice.

Solid plate at a restaurant in the Barcelona airport. No crackers, though, which seemed odd.

Back at Parker’s in Sioux Falls for the first time in years (it was my wife’s birthday). Always a lovely plate.

My daughter made me this. There’s no cheese, but it has that cheese plate vibe, doesn’t it? It’s apples, oranges, almonds, chocolate chips, garnished with peanut butter. She called it “fruit nachos.”

This was a tired, used up plate at a retail store called Simply Perfect in Sioux Falls. It had clearly been out for a few hours, but I like the little flowers they made with salami. And a retail store that puts out a cheese plate? Bravo, friends. Bravo.

Shockingly good cheese board from Crawford’s in Sioux Falls. They didn’t have any meat, so they couldn’t do a charcuterie for us, so they scrambled together “just” a cheese plate. It was amazing.

A small plate from the Jin Bo Law Skybar in London. I didn’t eat any of this, it just showed up at the table with a bunch of other food.
