Murray's Cheese in Atlanta?!


Murray's Cheese?!, originally uploaded by jekemp.

Ok, so, interesting news, one of the Kroger Grocery stores here in Atlanta has apparently teamed up with NYC's Murray's Cheese to market high end cheeses from around the world.

Having been to the original(before they expanded and moved across the street..), I must report that unfortunately its not the Murray's logo or the cheese selection that makes the place interesting, It was the surly employees that really made the place stand out.

So, even though they have small wheels of Muenster from Alsace, I don't know how this is going to pan out in Atlanta. Overall, I am happy that I can find and try some great cheese here. In the end, I just hope that they will do the right thing and throw out the stuff that does not move and not pull the Whole Foods Market scheme of scraping off the mold, re-wrapping the cheese and changing the sell dates.

Here is a link to their press release:
