Man Creates Mount Rushmore Replica With Carved Cheese

It's George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln � carved out of a giant block of cheese.

Troy Landwehr of Wisconsin used his carving tools to turn a 700-pound block of cheddar cheese into a replica of Mount Rushmore.

The cheese carver and winemaker was hired by 'Cheez-It' snack crackers to make the monumental carving.

He's heading to New York City in coming days to appear on television and promote the sculpture in Times Square.

Then the carving hits the road on a publicity tour.

The carving eventually will end up in Oklahoma and be cut into cubes to become a snack itself.
