Corned beef, coffee cakes, fried chicken, coffee, and cream cheese get a lot of the headlines. But, in the meantime, there are about 10,000 other, equally
exciting, and devilishly delicious things going around the ZCoB every week! I love our “greatest hits” as much as anyone, but every day, cool, little, secret
specials—known mostly only to regulars, the people you call, the Zingerati—are there for the taking. With all due respect to Georgia Reubens, rye bread and
ribs, try any or all of these “limited edition” specials and I’m guessing you’ll be as happy to see them on their appointed once-a-week appearance as I am.

Sometimes there's nothing better than a chilled glass of a
full-bodied ale on a hot summer's day. Our Washtenaw is the
perfect cheese to pair with those refreshing summer spirits.
We begin by gently brushing this cheese with saison ale.
This "washing" lets the cheese develop a rich, almost beefy,
quality—it's absolutely dynamic when it's a couple of weeks
old. The Washtenaw is a great place to start for those who
don’t think they like washed-rind cheeses (yet!).

Our traditional burrata is made in the style of Italy's Lazio
region. We fill a mozzarella balloon with heavy whipping
cream and chunks of mozzarella curd for an absolutely deca-
dent cheese. During the dog days of summer there are fewer
things we enjoy more than a bed of fresh tomatoes, burrata
and a drizzle of olive oil.
