Eat Cetera: Stinky Cheese, Smorgasbord, Bartenders & Beasts

Stinky Cheese: NYC's fourth annual Winter Stinky Cheese Festival kicks off tomorrow, promising ten days of, well, stinky cheese. During the festival, nine French restaurants around town will showcase "inventive" dishes inspired by stinky cheeses: Nice Matin, Marseille, CafÃ© DâAlsace, French Roast (Uptown & Downtown), Le Monde, LâExpress, Maison and Pigalle. Throughout the ten day stink-out, each restaurant will offer a cheesy variation on an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Seen here, for example, is Chef Andy DâAmicoâs Limburger Steak Hache, featuring melted Limburger Cheese, Vidalia Onions and a fried egg. You can get that at Nice Matin for $19. To peruse the wide spectrum of stinky menu offerings, check out the Tour de France website. You've got until February 25th to sniff out all of them. — Gothamist
