The cheese plate is a fantastic way to serve up something quick and easy, but also with a little class. Not every evening do we possess the time and energy to slave over the stove and prepare an epic meal. Sometimes you just want to have friends over for something that doesn't require a lot of work.

The Quick and Easy Cheese Plate

Eddie Finn, Alejandro Morales, and Joey Dougherty chow down on some sharp cheddar and brie. The gang also talks about the comedy scene in Philly, even though they told themselves prior to the show that they would avoid this topic. They rundown a list of Philly-centric phrases like Quizzo, and shots fired about the origins of who started wearing a fanny pack first in the Philly comedy scene. Brian also learns that sherry should be poured in moderation.
