Leading southwest fast casual restaurant chain warns consumers of queso imitators
ATLANTA – July 12, 2017 Moe’s Southwest Grill® is issuing an official public announcement concerning multiple alleged “queso” dishes posing as cheesy authentic goodness. These queso impersonators are claiming to serve the perfection that is smooth and delectable queso, attempting to fool consumers across the nation.
Moe’s has been serving its queso for 17 years and our rich ribbons of liquid gold are famous for a reason. Moe’s was struck with this news when cups of nacho-cheese-esque dips were roaming around, pretending to be southwestern-inspired queso. As a courtesy to our awesome fans and with a promise to serve and protect all queso lovers, Moe’s is issuing this public warning.
If you have been duped by any of these queso copycats serving yellow, grainy, nacho cheese-like “queso” dishes, please snap a photo or share your feedback by reporting it directly to @Moes_HQ using #QuesoImposters.
Think you might have fallen victim to this? Here’s how to tell:
- Imposter queso is said to be yellow in color, resembling a block of faux cheddar cheese, rather than smooth, white queso blanco
- The texture is grainy, devoid of the velvety queso goodness you’ve come to know and love
- When snapping a gram-worthy pic for #foodporn, nothing happens. No magical cheese pulls or beautiful, bold drippings off the end of a perfect chip
