The Trend Hunter team was recently treated to an exhilarating fun day at Toronto's cheese-based eatery called Cheesewerks that combines delicious cheesy comfort food with trivia knowledge games. The experience allowed Trend Hunter staff to enjoy culinary cheese-themed dishes and test their knowledge in music, food and pop culture categories.
Cheesewerks offers guests an interactive dining experience unlike any other where cheese and trivia come together to create a fun-filled meal. The Trend Hunter staff was broken up into teams and asked various skill-testing questions in all genres. Throughout the game Cheesewerks served delicious homemade alcoholic sodas, local craft beers, artisan grill cheeses, gourmet tomato soups and even a sweetened chocolate bar grill cheese for dessert. Team Cheezuschrist took home the prize with the largest amount of points collected.
