Cheez-It opens a diner centered around the famous snack — but for a limited time
Food at the diner has an 'absurdly cheezy twist,' Cheez-It said
Cheez-It is running a diner inspired by its popular snack cracker in New York state for one week.
The eatery, called the Cheez-In Diner, opened its doors Monday in Woodstock, according to the Kellanova-owned brand. It will close after Sunday.
Cheez-It said the diner is making "Americana classics, each with an absurdly cheezy twist," during its weeklong stint.

Examples of menu items include the "Extra Cheezburger," "Cheezy Chicky Tendies" and "Mac & Cheez-It."

Patrons will get to take in "retro decor" such as "vintage Cheez-It memorabilia" and "iconic '60s music scene nods" as they eat at the temporary diner.
Inside the diner, the brand said, it has installed a jukebox that will only play songs if someone inserts a Cheez-It and a cracker dispenser filled with "rare and fan-favorite flavors."

"So many fans have been suggesting where we should bring the Cheez-It fun next, and we knew we needed to go the extra mile – literally – to do it again. That’s why this year we headed East, packing this one-of-a-kind roadside experience with even more ways to enjoy our iconic crackers, solidifying our spot as fans’ go-to snack nationwide," Cheez-It Senior Brand Director Cara Tragseiler said.

The snack cracker-centric diner opened nearly a year after Cheez-It temporarily operated a similarly themed gas station in the Joshua Tree area in California.
