On The Cheese Truck - September 19, 2010

Laurent Bonjour is back in Los Angeles after a quick trip to his hometown of Annecy in France, where he went to see his father.


SPECIAL OF THE MONTH:
$3 off VALENÇAY
- a rarefied sour savor with a salty flavor
that turns to a sweet nuttiness


P'tit Basque
- has a rather dry texture and an earthy, nutty flavor

Cantal Vieux
- frank flavor with a vigorous but pleasant taste
- one of the oldest cheeses in the world; reportedly eaten by Caesar when he was conquering Gaul

Robiola Bosina
- a mixture of cow's and sheep's with a rich fragrance of the Italian countryside
- best experienced when the cheese is at room temperature and at that time the cheese is soft as butter

Fourme d'Ambert
- a rich and creamy blue cheese with a mild nut and mushroom overtone

Saucisson Sec / Dry Salami  $15 each
- a rich chewy pork product that literally melts in your mouth
- goes best with cornichons or black cured olives

And don't forget duck sausage with figs and merguez for your BBQ.

It's still summer weather, and there are still BBQ and salads on menus. Laurent has Sweet 'n' Spicy BBQ rub, as well as six (6) different dressings for your salads that can be used as marinade or sauce for your meat or seafood − basil, garlic and parmesan; honey, mustard and blue cheese;  balsamic; mustard, garlic and champagne; orange and raspberry; and Provençal.

If you happen to need a soothing necklace for a teething baby, Laurent has those on his truck too. They're very big in Europe and he has a new line!

At the Larchmont Farmers Market every Sunday, 9 am - 2 pm, rain or shine!
