Where to Buy a Cheese Zombie in Yakima
CHEESE ZOMBIE SEASON IS HERE!
If you don’t know what a cheese zombie is, read about their origin here.
There are certainly local places where you can get a cheese zombie every day, but seeing “Cheese Zombies Have Arrived” signs on restaurant reader boards once a year is something special. It’s like having our very own private Yakima Valley holiday season.
🎵I'M A [CHEESE ZOMBIE SNOB] GIRL, LIVIN' IN A [CHEESE ZOMBIE] WORLD🎵
I will openly admit to being a Cheese Zombie Snob, having tasted the best I’ve ever had from Linda Ramos, known affectionately as Shorty’s Sweets, Treats, and Cakes. Since her restaurant is no longer around, other local restaurateurs have tried, in some cases miserably, to fill her shoes. I won’t mention their names here. What I will mention are the ones that have done a pretty decent job at making yummy cheese zombies so far.
On another note, "Cheese Zombie Snob" is going to be the name of my next rock band!
Cheese Zombies 101:
Cheese
It needs to be Velveeta. Some places try to get all fancy and use pepper jack or some BS block of cheese they bought at the store, but Velveeta has the best taste and most even melting spread in a Cheese Zombie.
Bread
Here's where it gets really tricky: You can't use any old hunk of bread for a Cheese Zombie. I wish that everyone trying to make them would get this through their thick skulls!
The taste of the bread will make or break an entire Cheese Zombie. I don't know what Shorty's secret ingredient was in the bread she baked, but dayummmm, her bread was good!
For the Love of Everything, Please Season Your Friggin' Tomato Soup!
There is nothing worse than getting a good Cheese Zombie and it gets served to you with BLAND tomato soup! This is the other very important pairing with a Cheese Zombie during Cheese Zombie Season.
Not everybody's tomato soup out here tastes good. No, I won't be a KAREN and tell them to their faces, but I try to give them facial cues.

The one place I'm not sure if they are still offering Cheese Zombies is the Perry Tech cafeteria. You'll have to check on that for yourself.
