New! All new! (how many times can we say "new"?)

Hello all you cheesy fans!

NO the Chi of Cheese has not gone defunct and YES we still follow the Way of the Cheese!

Our lives have just gotten a re-boot in the form of a diabetes related health issue (your cheesy reviewer, Bodog, is a type 1 diabetic) but we will soon be back with more reviews and more vids extolling the virtues of CHEESE!

We have new products and new advice and new reviews: all with a NEW low-carb slant (in keeping with maintaining our new good health). We're here to defend the basic wonderfullness of cheese and prove:

That you CAN enjoy cheese and lose weight! (Mrs Bodog aka MrsEvilGenius eats a modified Paleolithic diet with cheese and has lost over 140lbs. No lie!)

That you CAN enjoy cheese and be healthy! (Bodog has recovered completely while eating a low-carb diet with plenty of CHEESE!)

That you CAN enjoy cheese and be diabetic! (See above!)

Stay tuned ...

Meanwhile you can follow Bodog on Twitter if you'd like:

Official Chi of Cheesy Hotdogs

On July 4th, 2008, Joey Chestnut beat out Takeru Kobayashi at the 93rd Annual Nathan's Hotdog Eating Competition injest 59 hotdogs in 10 minutes and swallowing an extra five in tie-breaking eat-off with Kobayashi. In honor of that impressive feet, the Chi of Cheese brings you the Official Chi of Cheesy Hotdogs!

Also in honor of Joey Chestnut's victory this past 4th of July, the Chi of Cheese, in collaboration with Attack of the Radioactive Tees, has created the All-American Hot Dog shirt. It may be after the 4th of July and the Hot Dog Safari in Boston, Massachusetts was on June 1, but the West Virginia Hot Dog Festival is around the corner on July 26th, and this shirt is great if you just want to show your love for hot dogs and the United States.

Available at Attack of the Radioactive Tees

Happy 4th Everybody!

Happy 4th of July America!

Bob Evans Brunch Bowls - Country Gravy and Sausage

Breakfast can be one of the best meals of the day. A good breakfast can set the tone for the following hours. It's one of the few times that something sweet can be the main part of your meal with doughnuts and syrupy pleasures. In fact, the food you eat for breakfast you don't usually eat anywhere else. Sausage, egg, grits (if you're a Southerner). But, sometimes you can get wild and crazy and have breakfast at another meal. Growing up every so often I would ask, "What are we having for dinner?" and my father would say, "Breakfast." The food services department of the school district I work for every so often offers the students "Breakfast for Lunch". When you say breakfast, there's a general idea of what you're getting, even if you aren't sure on specifics.

So when I saw Bob Evans's Brunch Bowls, I thought, "Chi-Ching! Bob's even telling me I don't have to eat it for Breakfast because they are 'Brunch Bowls' not 'Breakfast Bowls'!"

Let's see how Bob Evans's Brunch Bowl does...



Bob does offer other Brunch Bowls, though I haven't seen any in the stores I frequent, yet. I'd be willing to give his Omelet and Sausage Bowl a shot, even though he's added the V-Word (vegetables *shudder*) to the omelet.

Also, the Chi of Cheese is proud to announce two new Cheesy designs in the hot, new online T-Shirt shop, Attack of the Radioactive Tees.


First, the official Chi of Cheese Logo is now available on several products including this lovely tote bag. Here at the Chi of Cheese, we support our planet and its environment going so far as to shun vegetable consumption. Those vegetables should be outside growing lush and making oxygen! So show that you're not just a Cheese Lover, but a Green Cheese Lover with this ec0-friendly tote bag, great for grocery shopping.






The Chi of Cheese also endorses the use of mayonnaise, but often find people unwilling to use the smooth and creamy condiment. One reason for this reticence is fear that they will be labled "Canadian". Just for using mayo! Well, feel free to help all the mousy mayonnaise lovers with this shirt letting everyone know, Mayonnaise: It's Not Just for Canadians!

Chi of Cheese Pop Quiz

Look at the following photos. They display two different burger creations at two different stages...Bun preparation, and final product. The burger on the left is Subject 1. The burger on the right is Subject 2. Which burger builder follows the Chi of Cheese?




















Subject 1 Ingredients

2 Great Value Buns - 100 Calories each
2 Great Value frozen hamburger patties - 280 Calories each
2 American cheese slices - 50 Calories each
Great Value mayonaisse - 100 Calories per tablespoon
Great Value chili sauce - 15 Calories per tablespoon
Ketchup - 15 Calories per tablespoon

Subject 2 Ingredients

2 Merita Light Wheat Buns - 80 Calories each

2 Boca meatless burgers - 100 Calories each

Kraft 2% sharp Cheddar cheese - 50 Calories per slice

Kraft fat free mayonaisse - 10 Calories per tablespoon

Lettuce - 1 Caolrie per leaf

Tomato slice - 4 Calories

Mustard - 11 Calories per tablespoon

Ketchup - 15 Calories per tablespoon

Pickles - 1 Calorie per slice

If you picked Subject 1 as the Chi of Cheese Champion, you are correct. Subject 1 understands the value of simplicity with chili being the only extravagance. Subject 1 understands that American cheese is the cheese which best accentuates the burger flavor.

Subject 2, on the other hand, makes several infractions...I've had the Merita light wheat buns, myself, and they're good, but...meatless burgers? That's un-American. The meatless burgers actually lesson some of the other infractions. Cheddar cheese does not bring out the burger taste as well as American cheese, and lettuce, with no discernable taste, just adds surface area to the burger, spreading out and muting, the taste. However, since we're dealing with a meatless patti, any taste infractions aren't as grave as these transmogrified Frankenburgers have little taste to offend.

Also, you should watch out for the following words and phrases when following the Chi of Cheese:

light

meatless

x% (where x is a number)

fat free

Despite claims that these words do not connote perversions to the taste of the food, and while I admit occasionally products with these warning signs do maintain a pleasing taste, typically those words are warning signs of mutated taste monstrosities and should be avoided.

There are many deadends on the Way of the Cheese that block the taste and happiness from you...Watch out for those warning signs, and you will stay on the Cheesy path. Follow the Way...the Way of the Cheese.

Snapps Mozarella Sticks

Ok, let's face it...few cheesy delights beat fried cheese. Few dishes give themselves over to the power of the cheese like fried cheese sticks. So the Chi of Cheese has a duty to check out the frozen fried cheese sticks available for your home consumption. Here's the Snapps Mozarella Sticks choice.



Risking copyright to let you know that Snapps provides a thumbs-up experience with Snapps Mozarella Sticks. Follow the way...the way of the cheese...
