Whenever I come back to Manhattan for break, I'm upset to leave the comfort of my new home--my college campus, but happy to come back to family and good food. My third night back, the first night being the night of the Debutante Ball, I convinced my parents to go to Landmarc, which is in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. After a ton of Black Friday shopping, we had an early and much needed dinner at Landmarc, where I ordered my go-to entree: a cheese plate. Here are the 5 cheeses on the plate. Once again I used the Artisanal Cheese Company's Rating system I learned from Maitre Fromager Max McCalman: -2 (Dislike), -1, 0 (ambivalent) 1, +2 (Love)

From Left to Right: 

La Tur (Cow, Goat, and Sheep's Milk, Italy): +2: Really creamy, herby, tangy

Castelrosso (Cow's milk, Italy) Sheep; 0; mild like manchego

Humboldt Fog (Goat's Milk, United States): 1; powdery, airy, mild, toothsome

Shropshire (Cow's milk, Great Britain): -2; farmy really hard to eat; strong aftertaste, mild flavor

Forme d'Ambert (Cow's Milk, France): +2; smoky, creamy, toothsome
