    One Cheese To Rule Them All

    Authors Patrick McGuigan and Carlos Yescas discuss their new book, One Cheese To Rule Them All: In Search of the World's 100 Best Cheeses.

    Nov 17 2025

    This episode takes us inside two cheese shops using their counters as platforms for identity, advocacy, and community connection. Host John Braga (@oqueijonista) sits down with two New York - based cheesemongers on opposite sides of the Hudson: Scott Young of Scott & Joe (@scott.and.joe) in Nyack and Jessica Galen of Bloomy Cheese & Provisions (@bloomydobbs) in Dobbs Ferry. Together, they explore pride, visibility, activism, and the many ways cheese can bring people together far beyond the counter.
