Hell's Kitchen: Though this news won't make waves with 90% of the food world, those involved in the vending and consuming of specialty cheeses make take notice. Casellula, Manhattan's most well known spot for cheese and wine, has dropped its fromager Tia Keenan. It's hard to find a press mention for the restaurant without a Keenan name drop, and one unhappy vendor notes that she made that restaurant: "Are they fucking crazy?...All the pairings, totally innovative approach to cheese, and willing to scour the corners of the city for stuff you can't find anywhere else." Sad. Let's hope Casellula finds another cheese genius and that Keenan moves on to greener pastures.
