About

Cheesy Fantastico is a blog to champion life’s many morsels.

It stews over the crock in your pot: the stupidly delicious, the silly and whimsical, the preposterously serious, and the frankly laughable aspects of cooking and food culture.
It’s a distillery of taste, recipes, memories and misadventures of cook Mike Eng, from Chicago by way of Oakland/San Francisco.
