Richmond residents Nicole Lang and Christophile Konstas (who’s taken a picture or two for us) are on a mission: they want to school the world on the magic that is…Pimento Cheese.

They’re currently in the process of raising money to create a documentary honoring this Southern favorite via Kickstarter. Having raised just over $1,500 (at the time of this writing) of their $2,500 goal, they’ve got until Wednesday, October 20 (at 1:46pm, to be exact) to raise funds.

Here’s an excerpt from their project listing:

We are making a movie about the great Southern spread, Pimento Cheese! We plan on talking to all the different types of folks who make, eat, and serve PC. We plan on finding out just how it got to be a Southern specialty, what ingredients really “make” Pimento Cheese, where they come from and why. We need some funds to cover travel and rental costs as we beat a path across the South, in search of restaurant chefs, grandmothers, cooks, BBQ pitmasters, and anyone and everyone who has a story to tell about “Puhmenna Cheese”.

Head over to Kickstarter to learn more and to watch a little sneak preview.

Mmmmmm…Pimento Cheese…
