Ask Alton -- April issue

For this month's Atlanta magazine's column, Alton Brown tackles a cheesy question. A reader inquired about the wonders of "American cheese."

AB explains what exactly it mean to be American cheese. And my favorite was his take on those cheese "singles."

As for the yellowish square sheets cut and wrapped in individual plastic sleeves hanging on the rack in the dairy department? I’m not even sure they’re “food.”

That cracked me up because I call it plastic cheese. ;)

Read AB's cheesy thoughts here.

I don't care what anyone says, I still love my cheese singles. ;)

I'm right there with you! Nothing better on a cheeseburger than two slices of Velveeta cheese all melted and oogy gooey.
