I don’t mean to alarm you but the team at Darlinghurst’s Buffalo Dining Club are slinging 1.5kg cheese wheels to cure your self-isolation sadness.
Why panic-buy toilet paper or sanitiser when you can panic-buy the good stuff? CHEESE.
Specifically, this 1.5kg wheel of cheese from Darlinghurst Buffalo Dining Club.
For the measly price of $75, you can get your grubby little hands on a 1.5kg wheel of pecorino cheese. If you’re not a self-proclaimed cheese connoisseur, pecorino is an eight-month old gourmet cheese from Sardinia (aka delicious).
But the good folk at Buffalo Dining Club aren’t just selling you a big-ass cheese wheel, they’re selling an ~experience~.
“We want to give people an experience for the next few weeks,” owner Marcelo Gerrao told Broadsheet. “So it’s not like, ‘Hey, here’s your cheese wheel,’ and that’s the end of it – we want to take people on a journey.”
The cheese wheel is sold alongside a big ‘ol bowl of their iconic cacio e pepe pasta, which is definitely dinner sorted for the rest of the week.
Pasta AND a huge wheel of cheese? What more could you possibly want?
The team will hook you up with a big bowl of fresh, handmade pasta and a jar of their iconic cacia e pepe sauce for a measly $22. Bargain!
Although the big-ass cheese wheel will set you back an additional $75, its worth it for a kilogram-and-a-half of the Good Stuff (cheese).
I know what you’re thinking, $75 for cheese?! That’s madness! But this isn’t just one meal we’re talking about. Nope! You can actually reuse this cheese wheel again and again until you run out. This isn’t just a cheese wheel, it’s an investment in your future.
“You can keep reusing [your cheese wheel]; you just scrape the top layer off, cling wrap it and put in the fridge, and it’s ready to go for the next day,” Gerraro said.
As expected, the cheese wheel has become a hot commodity among people in isolation, likely because it sounds fucking delicious. But unfortunately, that means you’ll have to pre-order this bad boy if you intend on covering all of your life problems in a big layer of cheese. Thankfully, Gerraro and the team are aiming to have same-day pickup available for all cheese wheel orders.
Is this an excuse to serve every meal for the foreseeable future in a giant cheese wheel? I think so!
The cheese wheels will be available for preorder on the Buffalo Dining Club’s Hungry Hungry app here.
