Under Several Glass Cases is a Wealth of Cheese at The Mouse Hole Cheese Shop<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF CHEESE<\/strong>: I often self-gloss as a turophile, a connoisseur, enthusiast, or lover of cheese. Compared with Hanna Lee of Albuquerque’s Mouse Hole Cheese Shop<\/strong><\/a>, I’m a rank amateur.\u00a0 At the 2026 Cheesemonger Invitational (often referred to as the \u201cOlympics of cheese”) in New York, Hannah eaarned the title of “Best Cheesemonger in America,” one of the cheese industry’s most prestigious honors.\u00a0 Hannah is a cheesemonger at the Mouse Hole, the city’s only cut-to-order cheese shop.

NMRA CEO Carol Wight<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

NEW MEXICO RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION (NMRA) CEO TO RETIRE<\/strong>: Carol Wight, CEO for the New Mexico Restaurant Association<\/strong><\/a> since 2002 announced her retirement for late 2026 after 25 years of service. Her career has been defined by advocacy, resilience, and heart. A former restaurateur, Carol has been one of New Mexico\u2019s most influential advocates for restaurants. Her tenure spanned economic swings, regulatory battles, workforce challenges, and the unprecedented disruption of the COVID\u201019 pandemic. Through it all, she became known for her clarity, tenacity, and unwavering commitment to helping restaurants survive and thrive.<\/p>\n

BELOVED RESTAURANT CLOSES<\/strong>:\u00a0 On 31 July 2026, My Moms<\/strong><\/a>, a beloved downtown restaurant renowned for its New Mexican cuisine, family-oriented atmosphere and famous chef-owner closed its doors for good.\u00a0 Chef Marie Yniguez launched the restaurant in 2022 as a tribute to the mothers who have been essential to her life.\u00a0 Family-inspired artwork and decor honored those mothers.\u00a0 Marie, who stole the show on several Food Network programs, indicated\u00a0 rising food and supply costs ultimately made it difficult to continue operating. She pointed to significant increases in the price of meat and other goods over the past several years, adding that higher expenses forced the restaurant to raise prices.\u00a0 She was unwilling to pass those costs onto her customers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
