Summary
[Angelique] sampled The Red Ring's version of mac 'n' cheese, one of those lowly comfort foods that have recently broken out of the diner rut and onto the menus of white-tablecloth restaurants. No fewer than seven cheeses were melted together with twisty gemelli pasta and served with a cooked tomato, two rounds of fried pancetta, and a browned mixture of breadcrumbs and more cheese on top. The effect was irresistibly creamy, crispy, salty, sweet and tangy all at once. If this dish were a college student and we were its professors, we would say it had realized its potential.
The Red Ring isn't just an exciting new option. for Duquesne students; it's a legitimate addition to Pittsburgh's grown-up dining scene. It could, in fact, pose a challenge to restaurateurs across the city: If the people best known for breakfast strata and chicken a 'la king can produce food like this, why are entrepreeurs still offering the same tired dishes that make all too many restaurants feel old on their first day?See the full content of this document
