GLENN HOWELL

CHEF ALLISON HOLT

For more than 50 years, Say Cheese was a beloved part of the Silver Lake community, offering a rare blend of old-world charm and modern sensibility.

Guided by a true passion for life and the subtle pleasures found in food, founder and connoisseur Glenn Howell curated an exceptional collection of cheeses, chocolates, champagnes, and fine specialty items—bringing together the very best in one welcoming place.

From large celebrations to quiet evenings with friends, Say Cheese became an essential part of countless moments and memories. It was more than a shop; it was a gathering place, shaped by care, taste, and a deep connection to its community.

While the original home of Say Cheese is no longer with us, its spirit endures.

Today, a new chapter begins. Allison Martin Holt of Rustic by Allison has stepped forward with great respect for what Glenn built and a clear commitment to honoring that legacy. Her vision is not only to preserve the heart of Say Cheese, but to carry it forward—finding a new home and nurturing the same culture that the community has cherished for over five decades.

We invite you to be part of this transition. With your continued support, the legacy of Say Cheese will live on—evolving thoughtfully, while remaining true to its roots.

Thank you for being part of the story.
