Want to chat Cheddar Rounds?
Hello there, we're Warren and Jen Simmons, Atlanta residents
​and bakers of Cheddar Rounds!
In 2016, the world began to feel a little too fast, impersonal, and chaotic.  We increasingly found ourselves musing about the past, and to this end began combing through Warren's grandmother's handwritten recipes from a much simpler time.  Born in 1907, Irene Simmons, "DeDe" to her grandchildren, was a loving woman devoted to her family.  A consummate hostess, her parties were the talk of Charleston, SC.  We began experimenting with DeDe's recipes, and time and time again, her Cheddar Rounds were a clear favorite of family, friends, co-workers, and clients.  In 2017, word (and rounds!) had spread, and we were invited to participate as a vendor at the Peachtree Center Green Market in downtown Atlanta.  We had a fun season and definitely learned a lot at the Green Market.  Halfway through the season, we were asked by Master Chef Tom Catherall to provide Cheddar Rounds for a book signing at his restaurant for John Oates. With an obsession-level love for Hall and Oates since childhood, you can imagine how giddy Jen was watching John Oates enjoy our Cheddar Rounds!

We still have our day jobs (we're both Project Managers), but Cheddar Rounds are our passion project. Cheddar Rounds are everything Warren's grandmother DeDe was—sassy, Southern with a kick, and the life of the soirée!
