2122.0. "CHEESE: Cheese Spread at 99 Restaurants" by FRAGIL::FAGAN () Tue Nov 28 1989 14:00

    I am sure that at least 99% of us have tried the cheese that is
    offered with crackers at the 99 restaurants.  Does anyone no
    what is in this mixture.  Its absolutely deelicious.

2122.1The bartender knows!LEDS::TBROWNTue Nov 28 1989 15:005
    I believe it is a combination of cheddar and bleu cheese.  I agree that 
    it is good, but I'm not sure if it's a 50/50 mix or not.

2122.3Kraft Cheese Whiz...ASABET::C_AQUILIAThu Nov 30 1989 09:3921
    
    its kraft cheese wiz in hudson, mass.  i saw it in the frig and asked
    the bartender to confirm ... and he did.
    
    i have always loved their cheese and crackers and for years tried to
    figure out what and why they were so good.  i know that they use wheat
    wafers, definately not wheat thins and thought that the cheese was a
    mixture of cottage and ketsup.  believe it or not that is what someone
    stated in this file.  but seeing with my own eyes was nice;  i know the 
    final truth, i think!
       
    i also assume that this is what they use in the other places too and
    think that the reason why it tastes so different from what we have at
    our homes is because of the length of time that it sits out in the
    bar/dining area.  
    
    if anyone knows differently; please state so.  thanks.

2122.4This is itSALEM::WEBSTER_RThu Nov 30 1989 10:015
    As the wife of a 99 Kitchen Manager I can speak with some authority
    on this topic. (I also double checked to make sure.)  The cheese
    served at the 99 is a combination of WISPRIDE (sp) cheddar cheese
    spread and fresh blue cheese, which is then whipped to make it a
    light spreadable texture.
2122.5cheddar and bleu..PARITY::DDAVISLong-cool woman in a black dressThu Nov 30 1989 10:0311
    Re: -1
    
    I have to disagree with you.  99 uese Cheese WHiz on their nachos and
    on their baked potato with cheese and broccoli.  But the spreadable
    cheese that comes with the crackers is definitely not cheese whiz.  It
    gets too hard when refrigerated and the consistency is much different. 
    I think it's some kind of spreadable cheddar mixed with bleu cheese.

2122.7OK. cheese whiz would be alittle runny i guess..ASABET::C_AQUILIAThu Nov 30 1989 15:0619
    
    o.k. you guys are right... it can't be cheese whiz they serve with the
    crackers BUT i did see it in there and the bartender did confirm that
    they used it AND i was sitting at the bar... SO one can only assume
    that i screwed up BECAUSE... 
    
    
    
    i was at the bar!
    
    
    now seriously, there has been so many different opinions on this i
    would love to find out the 'true' answer.  i'm sure all 99's use the
    same thing .... maybe we could call and find out... i'll see...

    regarding .10/.11---
    
    Did you happen to pay attention to the ratios?
    
    Formula requested: ?(bleu cheese) + ?(wispride) = 99 cheese
    
    
2122.1499 Cheese Liason RespondsSALEM::WEBSTER_RFri Dec 08 1989 10:4913
    This is the Kitchen Manager's wife again.  The approximate ratio
    on the Wispride and fresh blue cheese is 80% cheddar and 20% blue.
    This is approximate as it is made in bulk at the Corporate Commissary
    and shipped to the restaurants. Remember, it must be whipped. (
    and served in little plastic cups at a bar)
    
    As to the Nacho Cheese Controversy, it is without a doubt, Land
    o' Lakes Cheddar Cheese Sauce.  I'm not sure if this is available
    in your local supermarket.
    
    Any more 99 cheese questions, post them here. I'll keep checking
    back.
