Was my first time at the cafe.<br /><br />A good Reuben should not have one side toasted and crispy and the other side toasted and kraut-waterlogged. Mine fell apart as I picked it up.<br /><br />Simple prep steps prevent this horror, including building the sandwich on the grill from bread to kraut to meat to cheese to sauce to bread, not the reverse; toasting it lightly before the flip to prevent the kraut from melting the bread; and serving it with the kraut side up so the juice flavors the meat rather than liquidating the bread.<br /><br />The salad croutons were home-made but had been refrigerated atop the wilted salad so long as to be totally stale, and the fries were made at lunch and served at dinner as best I could tell.<br /><br />The cafe was doing a brisk enough business, but won't be getting my patronage again. <br /><br />I am afraid of what they might do to their liver and onions.Mikeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-51734303545237342402010-04-02T07:48:41.218-04:002010-04-02T07:48:41.218-04:00You really have to work to have a failing restaura...You really have to work to have a failing restaurant in Broad Ripple.<br /><br />Shootin' BuddyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-48663190581862576562010-04-02T07:03:49.116-04:002010-04-02T07:03:49.116-04:00The pressure on small businesses is incredible.

Don't worry, I was not going to suggest we evade state tax on smokes to fund some unscrupulous organization (Happened here).<br /><br />I worked on cigarette machines and it was a bitch when the change fell out of them! (Sorry, old tobacco factory joke) The machines did 8,000 cigs a minute. There were 72 of them under one roof (46 acres). <br /><br />Although I am a tech monkey and have been for many years, the whole online social media thing is really new to me. Hard to get signals out of the tin foil hat and bunker!<br /><br />KellyKeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982258812373127063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-91135320534133001922010-04-01T22:59:55.538-04:002010-04-01T22:59:55.538-04:00Keads,

I am still within 2 hours of two of largest manufacturers plants and several smaller ones.
