    Love the theme idea, execution, and density!

      Dang! Awesome

        Very nice! The theme became apparent in layers.

          Well done!

            As a cheese lover, I also adored this theme! It was the bottom-left corner that gave it to me, especially when I stared at GABL knowing there's no way it was a real word 😅

              Nicely done!

                Fun one, apeminkie!

                  love the theme, really fun! the cluing was also really nice in this puzzle. i loved the locals/locale echo in MALIBU/SITE, duplicate clues in EXEC/MGR, and most of all the rhyming-ish clues on NOD and ORE, especially since they're right next to each other!

                    What a great construction!

                      not sure I get 29A. I know who it's referring to, but I don't really understand how the answer gets to there.
