Pair cheese and win big at Wedge + Fig

Wedge + Fig (160 N. Third St.) is giving everyone an excuse to get a little cheesy with its first-ever pairing contest. The Old City cheese/light fare shop invites all to submit their own original cheese-and-something-else combo; they give playful examples like roasted rutabaga with roquefort and peanut buter with Pierre Robert. The judges — Wedge + Fig chef Rebecca Torpie, cheese blogger Tenaya "Madame Fromage" Darlington and Melanie Fortino of Di Bruno Bros. — will select the three pairings they deem most worthy, prepare them according to your specs and select the most delicious one. The cheese-off champion will receive a Wedge + Fig gift basket complete with a selection of cheese and crackers, One Village Coffee, Gilda's Biscotti and various accoutrement. In addition, the winning pairing will get on the menu during the shop’s Friday/Saturday dinner service throughout the entire month of December. All submissions are due by Friday, Nov. 18 via pairingscontest@wedgeandfig.com.
