Episode 137 is what happens when you combine cheese and love.
We had the pleasure of sitting down with Zara and Abby, the owners of Raclette Machine, in Salt Lake City, Utah. One thing that rings true about every person we’ve had on our show is that they are so passionate about what they are doing and excited to be doing it. Zara and Abby are no different!
Abby and Zara have had a passion for cheese since before they met. Abby loves cheese so much that over the years she has been continuing her education on being a cheese monger. Zara found she had a similar passion and that is how they met in San Francisco! After they got married and moved back to Utah, Abby took an internship with local micro-dairy farm in Cache county, Rockhill Creamery. That has now turned into a beautiful, and tasty, partnership! Oh, and we are happy to report that Zara and Abby share a love of at least 95% of all the cheeses!
Raclette Machine was built just over 2 years ago after remembering how much they loved Raclette being served at their own wedding. Starting at the local Salt Lake Farmers Market, and taking advice from market director Alison Einerson, they have now expanded into a food truck and can be found around the valley at local events, Fisher Brewery, and the Square Kitchen Incubator (which they call home). They are building a business that is almost completely local. Abby and Zara told us how important it is to them to support local and build those relationships. Some of their partners include; Rockhill Creamery, Top Crops, Hollow Tree honey, Salsa Del Diablo, Crumb Brothers, Bread Riot Bakehouse, and Creminelli. You will also find them partnering up with our friends at Chocolate Conspiracy for cheese and chocolate tastings! There may or may not be some wine involved in those tastings too! Keep your eyes open for upcoming dates!
You can follow Raclette Machine on their website, their Facebook, and their Instagram accounts. Find out where they will be serving their amazing sando’s, seasonal french onion soup with magically crispy croutons, and whatever new item they are featuring!
