Latest press in the Culver City Patch:

Born in the French Alps, Laurent Bonjour has an expansive knowledge of cheese. His customers call him "The French Cowboy," "The Cheese Master" or simply "Monsieur" as they stop by his refrigerator truck to sample some of his 75 varieties of cheese. Sporting an Australian leather hat, Bonjour offers them a taste as well as recounting the history, legends and lineage of his tasty treats.   

Watch the accompanying cool video featuring him, his customers and the cheeses!
