‘Say Cheese’ offers entertaining primer on brie and its brethren
By Charlotte Eichna (published 05-13-2004)
In Egypt way back when, a desert bedouin stored some milk in a leather satchel and set out on a journey in the scorching Saharan sun. When he went to refresh himself several hours later, all he found were chunky curds and whey.
Thirst-quenching? No. But the mistake was delicious, and experts think that this is how humans first stumbled upon the creation of cheese, that rich, fatty delight that has tantalized mankind ever since and helped pizza reach new heights of delectability.
These days, cheese is a lot easier to come by, and you probably don’t think twice about chucking that cellophane package of pre-wrapped slices into your shopping basket. But the self-proclaimed “singing chef” Jackie Gordon thinks you should.
The Siegel Column May 11, 2004

Food has been an ongoing subject in the theater this year, and the big kahuna in that department is Chef’s Theater at the ritzy Supper Club. As we wrote in an earlier column, that show is really about the cuisine; the entertainment is essentially an afterthought. Happily, we’ve just come upon a much better mix of taste and talent in Say Cheese!, a cabaret experience at the Laurie Beechman Theater.

Chef Sings the Praises of Cheese
By Karen Calabria
Growing up in Boerum Hill, Jackie Gordon whiled away her childhood “always singing and always cooking.” “It felt natural to cook and sing together—I just had to figure out how,” laughed Gordon.
Mission accomplished.

Don’t tell Jackie Gordon that her new show stinks; she knows it does, and she’s damn proud.
The singing chef is bringing a new musical to the West Bank Cafe—Laurie Beechman Theater starting Wed 28 and it’s dedicated to cheese. She’ll be singing about artisanal cheeses and explaining cheese history as viewers gorge on fromage from six countries. Expect to hear adaptations of songs like “Milk Cow Blues” and drink selections from Diageo Chateau and Estate Wines during the 90-minute show, Say Cheese.

COBBLE HILL — Brooklynite Jackie Gordon, as the phrase goes, is singing at two weddings. Er, I mean, cooking at two weddings. Actually, it’s both. As Brooklyn’s own singing chef, Gordon has designed her own form of performance, which she calls “eatertainment.”
Gordon is a trained cook, having worked as head chef at countless restaurants throughout her career on both sides of the globe — New York City and Melbourne, Australia. She is also a world-class singer/performer, and after years of being ‘Jackie of two trades,’ she decided to merge her talents. “I create shows around food and music,” said Gordon.
