PrintThe 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.

what on earth
is a “grilled mett”?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
oh, you're making that up!
A mett must be some bizarre mideastern food item. Some kind of sausage?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
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?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
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. :)

Sorry been reading too much Salinger lately...sometimes bizarre stuff that i find numerous turns out to be in questionable taste...
Your Pal Mads
so
Is a kielbasa a mett?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
kielbasa is Polish
mettwurst is German
its like comparing fettucine to lo mein.
"We're going to Adonis, son"
jch24
so Justin in wrong
in saying every smoked sausage is a mett?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
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.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
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.
yeppers
its like confusing newcastle and pabst blue ribbon or edwin encarnacion and a real third baseman.
on other news my daughter is making me watch Jon and Kate Plus 8. Suckitude. How is this a tv show?

Yer blind, it's a smoked sausage!

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.”
Learn something new every day…
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
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.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
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…
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
That's what I was thinking
Did your friend from Milwaukee grow up in a cave?

Metts do exist…only $12,50 in this hick restaurant.

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.
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
don't worry, they'll be able to smell your loveliness from a couple blocks away
also, congrats to you and ash on the baby.
you didn’t have to send photographic proof of how it happened :-)

TTC > 915
by a wide margin. Details to follow in the next day or so after I forward pics to the immortal jch.
Best 4 out of 7!

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?

That girl looks pissed.
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.

Pissed - noy way obc
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!

actually the reds choose to live without them

did the Reds get rid of the cheerleaders?
Cost-cutting move?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
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.
"I just wanted to be like my dad, Jesus. He was a good shortstop.
Johan Santana
A dancer, you say?
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
Yes, but not the kind you're think of
She is trained in Ballet, modern, Jazz and has done musical theater. I have no idea how talented she is. But no J. she’s not a pole dancer.

awwww
tell her thats a nice necklace(the shorter one) for me.
im solidly on the fence about the left breast sticker, however.
"We're going to Adonis, son"
jch24
The sticker was a St. Patrick's day promo...
I don’t thin any of the girls were enamored with them.

I approve
Not that I have anything against Leah.
I just don’t think baseball should have cheerleaders. It just ain’t right.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
BubbaFan wants to play the gaem 'the right way' damn it!!
