BelleReve.
The weather in Monroe this weekend should be a delight. Mid-70s, clear skies; a perfect early fall day in the upper Midwest.

We can pick you up at the Rockford airport on the way up north. Just get me your flight number and ETA, and we'll be there.

Ha, and I thought that it Monroe, LA. I'd come just for the weather if it was cooler than here, still in the high 80's.

I believe Monroe Wisc. is named for Monroe NY, a small town in Rockland county about 20 miles northwest of NY City. In the early 20th Century there was a large cheese company in Monroe, NY, but due to a decline in dairy farming in the area they moved to Pennsylvania and then to Wisconsin. The famous American version of Limberger cheese, Leidekranz, was invented in Monroe. And, I think, what we now know as cream cheese was invented there.

I'm happy to learn that Leiderkanz is again being produced - it is an excellent product.

Cheers, John

An event we never missed. Hope you all have a great '12 cheese days. Some pics would be great!

I've been meaning to bump this thread for the last few days and keep forgetting to do it. So, here I am, very late at night (or early in the morning, depending on your life perspective), finally getting around to it.

To all interested parties, the biannual Cheese Days is coming up this weekend in Monroe, Wisconsin. The Roadhouse clan will be paying their respects on Sunday, September 16th, early to mid afternoon through the end of the day. Anyone who would like to join us is welcome.

Buddy,

No ears. That's the Sun Prairie Sweet Corn Festival. This is Cheese Days. I think we'll be joining you.

No response to the last post, eh?

Oh well, we'll be leaving Chicago around 11-11:30am, aiming to arrive in Monroe around 1:00pm. We can meet folks in front of Baumgartner's upon our arrival. Or, if anyone has a better meeting spot, I'm all ears.

Golly, with all this talk about a private party at Burt's on the 26th, I almost forgot about this Sunday, September 19th for Cheese Days in Monroe.

We're still planning on making the trip, so who all are meeting up with, approximately what time, and where shall we meet?

Thanks for reminding me about Cheese Days (the Wisconsin version) We were planning a weekend to go to Monroe and New Glarus, now I know when NOT to go! Love the area and the towns but not the crowds.

And since 90% of the crowds come from south of the Cheddar Curtain it probably feels just like home to you...

I have nothing written on my calendar for the 19th so I might be able to participate. Perhaps we could set up a taste-off between Liederkranz and Limburger (sounds like a 1920s vaudeville team).

I mostly agree about visiting Monroe on an "off" day, but c'mon, it's Cheese Days, The Happiest Days on Earth!

Plus, the al pastor taco cart isn't set up on a regular day.

Truth to tell, we'd rather visit on any day other than Cheese Days. We love New Glarus and Monroe just about more than any other towns in Wisconsin and visiting at other times gives more time to spend exploring without the crowds. Still, we will try to go too. Gotta try that Liederkranz.

With Fred's and Irish Fest under our belt and JRPfeff's Brat Fest coming up in two weeks, I figure it's not too early to remind everyone about the bi-annual Cheese Days in Monroe, Wisconsin coming up on September 17th-19th.

As of right now we're planning to go on Sunday the 19th.

Anyone else making plans to attend?

Why it's time for The Berghoff & Blues Festival this year (alternates with Cheese Days)

Berghoff & Blues for 2009 has been cancelled due to the economy - story here.

Hi all. We had a great time. Kris, we made it to your booth at 3:02. One staffer didn't know you but the other one said you had just left. We went to Turners Hall where I had raclette, an oval dish of red potato's and melted raclette cheese which was served with pickles, pickled Brussels Sprouts and pickled asparagus; sounds strange but it was great! My mom had some very good French onion soup which was topped with gruyere. Mrs MFL had an onion tart served with a poached pear, X1 went with a Swiss sampler of röesti potato's (think an oval pan fried hash browns with onions and Swiss Cheese topped with butter and flipped so it is crispy on both sides-mmmm), mac 'n cheese and spaetzles; damn our lunches were good! Our waitress, on route to another table, stopped by ours and waved some pie under our noises and said we really have to try their pie as she thought it was special. A bus girl picking up plates chimed in that it was the best. One slice of Swiss cream pie and four forks proved her right. Buffetbuster, if you are ever in the neighborhood, stop in and see if the bus girl was right; she was by us.

Kris,

We'll do our best to be there on time. Take a look at the Roadhouse Bar-B-Que Sauce Summer Tour, 2008 thread and you will find numerous pictures of me, having dinner with numerous other Roadfooders, making identification just a little easier.

See you Sunday,

Buddy

Hi all-

I will be leaving work in about an hour and heading down to Monroe for the majority of the weekend. I just thought I would recap what my understanding is:

MFL and contingent, and Al - I hope to see you at some point during my stint at the info booth on Saturday. I will be the younger of the two working there and will be wearing my red Swiss dress - you can't miss me! There is a possibility of meeting up again after my shift is done as well.

Buddy, Abe, et al - I will plan on being at the Rathskeller at the Turner Hall on Sunday between noon and 12:30. Not sure what I'll be wearing yet, probably some form of Cheese Days shirt. I may bring a friend along to keep me company and we'll probably be sitting at the bar. I'll try to keep an eye out for anyone who walks in.

I am so looking forward to this weekend. I hope to meet up with as many of you as possible!

-Kris

Hey, I'll try anything to lower my score!

Buddy, if it makes you feel any better I'll try to track down a good bar burger after golf.

I thought you were committed to this food thing Brad.

I had hoped to be able to go but that's not possible now; one of my kids has a birthday on Monday so we're getting together on Sunday with a few family members. And I've already committed to play in a charity golf outing on Saturday.
