RR burger blitz # 2 --- next Thursday evening

The RR Burger Crew has selected the 2nd burger serving establishment to visit.....the 915 Pub and Grill in Ft Thomas KY. Most likely we will congregate around gametime this Thursday evening. Wait....there is no Reds game next Thursday evening!!! Lets say 7pm? The invitation is extended to all who lay eyes on this post. It looks like we might be doing this every couple weeks or so and it will probably be even more interesting when there are Reds televised games on in the background.
I have been to this place many times over the years but i've never had one of their burgers. I have almost always ordered the fish fillet, which is OUTstanding. I have already pre-selected which burger I will be ordering next week. The choice was very easy.

oh, you're making that up!
A mett must be some bizarre mideastern food item. Some kind of sausage?

they are very popular here
i think they are about the worst things ever. It could be because just the smell of one on the grill gives me an instant migraine.

so how do you tell a mett
from any other sausage? What’s the difference between a mettwurst and a bratwurst, say?

a mett is what my family calls smoked sussage actually
so my terminology is probably just out of sink with the rest of America. The term bratwurst is really misleading, in American dialect it is a specific type of sausage, but in German it basically just means sausage, or I may be making that up, German was a little while ago, although I’m going to have to pick it up again to get my Ph.D.

I have no idea what they are made of (and probably don't want to know)
but I do know that the brats are the lighter colored ones and the Metts look like sausage – the traditional ideal of sausage, I mean. Basically it works like this for me: If it’s on the menu, I order it. :)

metts are pink/red and brats are light tan/grey

I just wanna learn how to speak Cincinnatian
Honestly, it’s a word I have never heard before, and I’m curious about how to use it correctly.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I’d be willing to bet that there are native Cincinnatians out there who don’t know the difference. Metts are a kind of smoked sausage, and I think they’re damn tasty. Don’t, however, confuse kielbasas and metts because obc will jump all over you.

Wikipedia comes through
Mett is short for Mettwurst. No, it’s not what happens to players who are DFA’d from that other NY team. “Mett” is German for minced pork without bacon, and is related to the English word “meat.”

Cincy
Wow, I had no idea folks might not know what a Mett was. I completely understand that non Cincinnatians have no clue what goetta is but i thought Metts were nationwide.
I guess its up there with the local tradition of asking people where they went to (high) school….

or maybe I'm just a country hick
Grew up in a town with only one stoplight. There was a deli called “The Wurst Place,” but it didn’t actually offer any wurst. Liver, brat, or mett.

then again
I just asked a bunch of my friends about it, and they never heard of it. Including the ones from Pittsburgh and Milwaukee.
I didn’t realize there was any kind of meat that they didn’t know about in Milwaukee…

The Mett is a grotesque little sucker...I dare not post an actual image.
Metts do exist…only $12,50 in this hick restaurant.

Okay kids, it's Tuesday. Time to get down to business.
Thursday night, meeting at 7:00 PM here:
915 Pub & Grill
915 N. Ft. Thomas Ave.
Fort Thomas, KY 41075
I will probably get there a little early as usual. If anyone is interested in going let me know via email and I will give you my cell number and a detailed description of my loveliness. Or you can just show up and look for the jackass in my avatar. Either way I’m having a burger and a beer Thursday night.

statistical recap
915 (admittedly a good burger, but the fish sandwich is legendary.)
Meat – 15/20 pts – nice handmade patties, a solid effort.
Bun – 5/10 pts – it wasnt bad and it wasnt extraordinary
Toppings – 8/10 pts – the homemade bleu cheese was outstanding, and the burger options were pretty extensive. great place if you want to try something you might have never had before
Value – 8/10 ($7 or so for a burger with home fries)
Preparation – 7/10 (i ordered it med rare and it was medium. but tasty)
Service – 8/10 (attentive service, and i got a free beer. i almost bumped it up another point due to the bartender’s efforts to make me happy)
It Factor – 7/10 (it was quirky, with interesting architecture. had a pool table.)
Cleanliness – 9.
Accessibility – 7/10 (parking was fine for the young and able bodied…park on the street, no parking lot. The building was handicap accessible.)
Overall – 74

This assesment is incomplete...
What about the waitresses?
Were any of them former Red’s Cheerleaders?

Of course, I can’t blame her. If some person was taking photos of me while I was at work, I’d be annoyed to.

She absolutely is holding back her excitement…I told her that you might be stopping by…well you see I’d told her that a couple of times and well now she doesn’t know whether to believe me or not…Cheerleaders – can’t live with ‘em can’t live w/out ’em!

Yep
They were unceremoniously told that their services were no longer needed, even though they hardly made any money per game as it was. Leah (pictured) told me how much they were paid and it was not very much. She got involved for the fun of it. Because she is a dancer, she wanted the performance opportunity and to have it on her resume. I think she’s in LA pursuing dance at this writing.
