Cheez-It has done some pretty wild things in the past, and when it comes to PR, they’re a go-big-or-go-home kind of brand.
What’s a more perfect way to celebrate the start of summer than with a Cheez-It themed diner? Perfect for your road trip snack stops, or just for a quick meal for cheese lovers.
The “Cheez-In Diner”, located in Woodstock, New York, is a dining experience similar to the Cheez-It gas station outpost that opened in Joshua Tree last year, and featured a gas pump that pumped your bag full of cheesy snacks.
In order to go even bigger this year, the Senior Brand Director for Cheez-It said: “This year we headed East, packing this one-of-a-kind roadside experience with even more ways to enjoy our iconic crackers, solidifying our spot as fans’ go-to snack nationwide.”
The menu is cheese heavy, and will make your mouth water:
- Deluxe Cheez-It Milkshake: This absurd milkshake is made with literal Cheez-Its whizzed up. Blended with creamy vanilla, and with a caramel and crushed Cheez-It cracker rim, this drink is then topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, and chocolate sauce. It then gets garnished with a chocolate-dipped Cheez-It cracker.
- The Extra Cheezburger: Chomp into this pimento Cheez-It smashburger topped with lettuce, pickles, and an extra-big Cheez-It cracker.
- The Big Grilled Cheez: This is a cracker-coated Texas toast filled with cheezy pimento goodness and surrounded by a crunchy Cheez-It cracker crust.
- Cheezy Chicky Tendies: Juicy chicken tenders breaded in Original Cheez-It crackers. Spice it up with hot & spicy seasoning and dip it in hot honey or Hidden Valley cheesy ranch.
- Mac & Cheez-It: Pasta baked in a creamy white cheddar Cheez-It cracker sauce with a crunchy white cheddar Cheez-It cracker crumble on top.
- Cheez-It Fries: No order is complete without these crispy fries tossed in ground Cheez-It crackers. Choose from original, white cheddar or hot & spicy seasoning, and load it with a melted pimento cheese sauce.
- Cheez-It Biscu-it: Tasty layers bursting with Cheez-It crackers make up this hearty biscuit. Butter it with honey butter or drizzle it with hot honey.
- Sweet-N-Salty Cheezcake: Is it cheesecake? Is it pie? However you slice it, it’s a cheesecake dessert with a Cheez-It cracker pie crust topped with caramel and extra-big Cheez-It crackers.
The crazy menu isn’t even the cherry (or cheese cracker) on top. The Cheez-In Diner will feature the world’s first and only Cheez-It jukebox. But don’t worry, you don’t need any cash – because the machine takes Cheez-Its instead!
