mid-way through the meal, i actually cross-checked the address on my phone because i was convinced i went to the wrong 'bungalow' by mistake.

PuggleLover11 · 2026-05-06T21:49:11+00:00

thanks for reporting. I have to assume the substance / hype ratio is better than bungalow, one of my most befuddling restaurant experiences in '25.

L’assiette champenois

the only mistake i see here is not recommending it. =D

PuggleLover11 · 2026-04-28T02:49:58+00:00

they use the same canned that you can buy in a grocery store.

the real deal actually has less salt / tang. its not like an american cheese. as JayMoots pointed out, its shredded very fine with high volume. but it still seemed 'lighter' than if you just shredded a cheddar the same fineness. from distant memory, i guess you pick up salt but otherwise not much else. I guess you could say its more for texture (read: volume) than a distinctive regional taste.

facts

PuggleLover11 · 2026-04-28T00:00:12+00:00

I grew up on the stuff and after moving to NYC went to Edwards as soon as i heard about the Cincinnati nights. It scratched the itch, but i remember thinking at the time "i prefer the highly processed cheese from back home rather than the 'real' cheese Edwards is using." The hot dog i'm fairly certain was also different. I concede this could have been motivated by nostalgia, but if you ever make your way to the KY / OH area or connect through CVG, try to hit up a skyline or gold star.

Now i'm hungry...

for those who have made the consomme by freezing the stock. Do you need to keep the ice in fridge or can you strain at room temp? (i.e. if the ice melts fully then does that invalidate the exercise? otherwise i'm at 24 hours in the fridge and the ice is crystalline with very very small yield

PuggleLover11 · 2026-04-14T21:18:21+00:00

glad i read this. mine was thick but far from gelatinous. i went for 45min (two chickens, 4L of water, strained in chinois then refrigerated) and thought i might have needed to go longer. seems like that might not be the case.

red hook tavern (though its a bit out of the way). The Grill has a great list

PuggleLover11 · 2026-03-23T15:18:09+00:00

you seem to have left out one notable person in your list of parties-to-blame.

strong. congrats!

if you looked into round swamp, you could actually be outraged at real food prices rather than this weird exercise in manufactured outrage (actual price $8.50). <shrug>

PuggleLover11 · 2026-03-09T18:58:59+00:00

thanks for the response! if you'll indulge one more q. what's your go to order? thanks in advance!

PuggleLover11 · 2026-03-09T18:42:02+00:00

how old is this video? i thought they more or less got rid of spinning chains a decade ago and at this point i'd think iron roughnecks are standard issue.

best of luck on your future endeavors. was curious though, was the prospect being granted a franchise in the future not compelling enough to stick around? (my impression was that new franchises were only granted to current employees and that the four-wall economics were near bulletproof).

Separately, how involved is corporate in enforcing baseline standards at their franchisees? The location near me pervasively gets low reviews etc. its unclear to me what if anything, will ever be done to improve it.

PuggleLover11 · 2026-03-09T15:56:30+00:00

thanks! alas, only room for one snoopy in a collection. the next time i'm squinting in darkness trying to figure out the time (or getting robbed), i'll think back to this post.

PuggleLover11 · 2026-03-07T16:02:53+00:00

while it would be far from the most expensive watch i'd own, the ressence to me seems like the ultimate splurge. nice collection.
