NEW YORK - This summer, Cheez-It is offering fans from all across the region a new reason to hit the road.
The beloved snack food brand has announced the opening of the Cheez-In Diner, a limited-time attraction in Woodstock, New York, just a two-hour drive from Manhattan.
The location will be open for just one week only, from May 20-26, and will offer a menu entirely centered around Cheez-It crackers, with everything from savory dishes to desserts.
Here's a sampling of the food that will be available for you to munch on:
- The ‘Cheezburger,’ which features pimento cheese, lettuce, picks and an "Extra Big Cheez-It cracker"
- The ‘Big Grilled Cheez’ sandwich, cracker-crusted for extra crunch.
- The ‘Cheezy Chicky Tendies,' which are coated in Cheez-It crumbs with spicy seasoning options.
- The ‘Mac & Cheez-It,’ which features baked white cheddar with a cracker crumble on top.
- ‘Cheez-It Fries,’ which will come in a trio of varieties, including Original, white Cheddar or Hot & Spicy with optional pimento cheese sauce.
- The ‘Cheez-It Biscu-its,’ which feature "tasty layers bursting with Cheez-It crackers" and is served with honey butter.
There will be several desserts as well, including the Deluxe Cheez-It Milkshake, a vanilla base with Cheez-Its, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles, and a caramel-and-cheese-cracker rim.
