In my previous post I wrote about an episode of Phantom Gourmet I had watched. Extra cheese was emphasized as a quality of comfort food. A reader left a comment and said "sometimes there is such a thing as too much cheese."
I would have to agree that "sometimes" there is such a thing as too much cheese. Recently, I have had two experiences with this. The first was at a campus dinning hall when I covered my pasta dish with grated parmesan. It was tortellini with chicken in a pesto sauce and I decided to add some cheese for extra flavor. Well, I over did it and ended up ruining a perfectly good dish. The second experience was at a Friendly's this past weekend. My friends and I ordered their loaded waffle fries. I found myself scrapping off a lot of the nacho cheese before I ate the fries.
I love cheese and will still put grated parmesan on pasta and still order loaded waffle fries. I just might limit the amount of cheese on the dish. I think that once you can no longer tell what the dish is under the cheese, you might have put too much.

I guess less is more (sometimes).
