Oh Cheeses!: A Tasting at Bari

Ever since my birthday dinner at Bari a few months ago, a few friends and I have been talking about tasting their entire cheese menu.

For $150 — and a phone call five hours in advance — you can try an ounce of the more than 40 cheeses on Bari’s menu. Yep, that’s more than 40 ounces of cheese, or about two and a half pounds worth.

My first, and only, piece of advice: Bring friends. But not too many. (Sharing is all well and good, but only to a point.)

The cheese arrived — somewhat disappointingly — on a large tray all at once. I think we had all pictured courses upon courses of cheese, with three or four samples each, being delivered at a time, in a certain order.

To get it all at once was a bit overwhelming.
