Our summer pimento cheese has been an immediate staff favorite, and we think you’ll love it just as much as we do. Layers of cream cheese, smoked cheddar, and roasted red peppers sit beneath Chef’s house pepper jam - all served with a side of fried saltines! Add a side of marinated Castelvetrano olives, too - you certainly won’t regret it.
