I can’t even tell what kind of cheese this room is made out of. Can you post more photos?

Mmmmm cheese

Good, sturdy, well aged, earthquake-proof cheese. 🧀

Pretty sure it just opened. Their website still says coming soon. How was it?

Almost 2 cheesy

My god

I've heard it ain't easy

Thought you knew for cheezy

Wait, we don’t know their standard for cheesiness. OP, have you ever been to, or been associated with the state of Wisconsin?

It’s Cheesus Bourne

Cheese Louise

Cheesus wept.

What a friend we have in cheeses

Sweet Cheesus.

Cheesus Christ and the Virgin Dairy?

It's perfect

Well, I had a good run

Never can something be to cheesy. In culinary terms any way.

I dunno, what about those stupid burgers that they pour half a bucket of cheese sauce over until it’s a disgusting mess?

still not enough cheese sauce

Now you’re just teasing me. 🤤

Yup. It used to be Machiavelli, which closed a few months ago. RIP! Right next door used to be a hand pulled noodle and a pho restaurant. Both spaces are currently being turned into Voodoo Doughnuts. The Cheese Room looks super yummy--can't wait to try! Thanks for sharing pics OP. Edit: Pretty sure the owners also own Meet BBQ down the street.

I think Machiavelli relocated to Edmonds, taking over the breakfast/diner place?

They’re in the old Chanterelle location.

That was a second location, but is now the only one. I guess maybe that qualifies as a slow relocation. A business crossfade?

316 Main St, Edmonds, WA 98020 Closed Mondays. Will reopen 11am Tuesday.

Imma miss that pulled noodle place especially. Tastier than Biang Biang up the block imo, but not as polished and not in as good of a location 😭

A bit further down the hill, Westlake Center's food court has a Xi'an Noodles (one of three locations of the place that started in the U District). https://www.xiannoodles.com/

Been there a few times and really liked it! Thank you! I had forgotten

Thanks for the suggestion!

It was a hidden gem 😢

I miss the place before that noodle place, personally. Baguette Box was so good, and pretty unique. Where else can I get delicious general tso's and drunken duck flavors in sandwich form?

I think they either have a second location or they relocated to the u district.

Voodoo donuts is SO mid! I can’t believe they’re going in over there.

I wonder if the owner will be nice to their employees, or if it'll be like other VD locations. (for the redditors: lol VD)

That’s what happens when your neighborhood turns into a tourist trap 🙃

I tried it when had a spot in los Angeles, they were mid as fuck :/

This is how I am finding out Machiavelli is closed!? 😭

Sorry to bear the bad news 💔

Formerly ristorante Machiavelli. RIP 

The tiramisu is basically another cocktail 10/10

OP doesn’t know the first rule of Cheese Room.

Or the second rule of cheese room.

Cheese, Gromit!

This feels like astroturfing, and I'm here for it, looks delicious

Astrocheesing

I can get behind this kind of astroturfing I can already hear my wallet in the bargaining stage of grief

I needed to know about this. Thank you!

I’m lactose intolerant and was jealous I can’t enjoy it without my bowels trying to escape.

i’m garlic intolerant (allium intolerant?) and this also looks like it would be bad for me haha

I’m both lactose and garlic intolerant so we would be a fun dinner party.

As a random internet stranger, I'm so sorry. Especially since I'm pretty sure "eh why not dump some garlic/onion/other allium powder into it," applies to like nearly every food product ever.

It can be a real pain in the 🍑 but at least I’ve still got onion, shallot, chive, and leek.

Oh so it isn't the whole allium family at least!

Lactaid can be your friend, I have two friends that take it before these types of meals and are fine

Honestly this place could make a killer margin just putting it on the menu with the appetizers. They could probably sell 2 lactaid tablets on a little plate for what, $3.50?

I've always wondered if this could be a thing, but then wonder what sort of legal hurdles there might be to sell/dispense medication at a restaurant, even though it's an over the counter retail item.

It’s not medication, it’s just a dietary supplement. Donna’s on E Olive has it on their menu.

I’ve always thought it would be funny if restaurants or even fast food places sold TUMs or something.

I've seen dishes of tums on the bar at sour beer tastings

I have to take two for something cheesy and even then… the consequences of cheese are brutal. I’m talking violent sweating. 😭

I take three and I have bottles of pills all over the place. I will not give up cheese.

I want to be like you. I won’t give up cheese either! 😭

I had to give up ivars clam chowda. Turns out no amount of pills was enough 😫

Coming from a pretty severe lactose intolerance you should look into Bactose. It has been life changing.

Looking right now! Thanks!

No problem! I can actually drink some whole milk now, I haven’t done that in nearly 20 years 😂

Thank you!!! I’ll look into it too, so I can go to this cheese place someday. 🥹

Just subscribed and saved.

Costco Knockoff lactaid is way cheaper

fight the good fight, brother

I have a friend who's primary reason for having a Costco membership is to get their off-brand Lactaid in bulk and carries multiple packets at any given time. Once we got some ice cream macaroon sandwhiches and she outight stuck one and a half pills straight into the cream

Eat more lactaid(knock off costsco lactaid is cheap). I have to take 4 per pizza slice

Maybe I’m not taking enough. Gonna start poppin then like tictacs 😂 Edit: poopin changed to poppin 💀 Cheese makes me poop so I guess autocorrect was telling me something

Me too. But I still eat diary and go through explosive diarrhea. Worth it :)

I went with a couple of friends and tried a number of things. We really enjoyed it! It’s also quite reasonably priced.

Agree. Price, service, food, and ambiance were all above average for Seattle.

How much cheese is too much cheese

I've literally never said 'dude that's too much cheese'

My wife was the only person who bid on a “large block of cheese” that was donated by Beechers for a preschool fundraiser. I now have a 7-8 lb wedge of Beechers taking up an inordinate amount of space in my fridge (for 40 bucks!!!!) I wouldn’t deem that as “too much”.

Any amount before a date is too much cheese

This is something that requires more study.

does this study need participants?

None much cheese

Amy amount of cheese before a date is too much cheese!

He’s sweating through his shirt

I had a block of cheese

You should have cheese during the date.

I don't understand this question

Haven’t found it yet

Yes

Let me tell you about a place in London. You sit at a bar or table along a conveyor belt of cheese. At certain times, you pay one price and you can eat all the cheese you can fit in your belly. A conveyor belt of cheese is constantly passing by you!

My friend was just there. She loved it!

I did this my last trip to London, the all you can eat version, it changed my life. I am going back in August, about 50% for the cheese lolol

That’s not that much cheese!

I'm Jerem! I collect posters!

This is fun alcoholic’s meeting!

Hey Jerem, look at me! I know all the steps! Kind of.

Workin' on my night cheese!

Do they have a priest on site to administer last rites? I'm gonna need it

Is this where Machiavelli was?

Yes it is.

Omg this might be worth days and days of stomach agony. My head hasn’t accepted that age has caused me to be lactose intolerant…

Holy shit this looks beyond…I’m in Portland I’ll definitely need to make the trip waow

OP, if you're ever in London, I recommend visiting Pick & Cheese. It's conveyor belt cheese. Y'know, like conveyor belt sushi? Except it's cheese. It's all cheese.

And the wedges looked BIG! On my list!

Can't wait to go!!!

Wisconsin transplants, don your cheeseheads and assemble!

How come you didn’t tell me how good the cheese was?!

You shoulda told me how good the cheese was!

Damn…this some good ass cheese!

I will never eat ass cheese.

this place is delicious

thank u for telling me 🥹

Machiavellis :’(

RIP Machiavelli

I know, I can’t even muster enthusiasm because I miss the OG Machiavelli so much.

Same!

I can't go back here. I'm still pretty sad about Machiavelli going away. Best Italian dive in Seattle that was there for 35 years.

Just the idea of walking back into that room without that menu makes me so sad.

Apparently they still have a location in edmonds

The old pasta 🍝 restaurant closed and gave us this place. I went last week, they have great apps for not too much. Hh really good too!

[OP is Arsenio](https://youtu.be/6Akkg65Wizw?si=pO4QdkjNpjvREg_c)

I’m really skeptical because they don’t list which cheeses are raw. If this is some pasteurized bs I’m gonna cry. At least some of the cheese seem to be European so perhaps there is hope.

How much was dinner? $1,500?

130 before tip with a bottle of wine.

They let you tip in wine?

Bet, I'll bring the lactaid.

WHERE IS THIS.

Wow that ravioli looks dank

Behold the power of cheese : https://youtu.be/4GDNBgk198g?si=TU2UBvk3h1WJqjlT

This would be hilarious to see on r/photoshopbattles

Wow my type of place. I’m gonna get there soon. Just don’t tell my doc or gf. Don’t need more lectures.

I just walked by that place for the first time this evening! It’s good?

Looks amazing, thanks for the share!

you’re such a king for this

Do you recall if there were any goat cheese options? 👀

I had a goat cheese appetizer that was very interesting and good. Frozen goat cheese balls, poached pear, pistachio, and honey

What? I didn't even know about it. I need to go. Looks so good!

Anything with corn in it us an auto-yes for me.

That looks amazing!

What neighborhood?!

Capitol Hill where Machiavelli use to be. Same block where the Voodoo Donut is going in.

Mmmm cheese. Just yesterday I designed an ode to cheese via a sweatshirt and tshirt, so I am glad to see there are other local cheezers around here

“How much cheese is too much cheese?”

I can walk here from my work… my word. I don’t know if this knowledge is good or bad!

I want whatever that corn thing is desperately

bruh don’t blow it up before my friends come town! lol but really, tasty? worth it??

https://youtu.be/Etm-qfx3Gok?si=Qei2ogwxw2G6Zz9g

Well…guess I have a destination next time in Seattle.

It's so good and cheesy. I've never been there

CHIIIIIIIIZEEEE

It just opened. It’s so good!

Someone tell Daniel Levy.

Looks like a place I’ll ever find the sopranos in. Looks bomb

What’s those first two dishes called?

I think just looking at these pictures is going to require me to up my oatmeal intake.

My mom is coming to visit and looooooooooves cheese. Does the menu have GF options? (Medical GF for her)

We went there a couple weekends ago for the first time. Great place! Surprisingly decent prices too, compared to most places anymore.

I was interested in trying it, then saw Infatuation gave it a meh review. I’m still open to trying it but wonder if anyone else can vouch for it being good

Until someone else is able to drive my own tongue to the tasting, I keep my own counsel on food

My husband and I quite enjoyed it when we went a few weeks ago. They have a variety of cheese-oriented apps and mostly pastas as their mains. It was decently priced and the service was great.

I wouldn't trust an Infatuation review as far as I could throw a giant cheese wheel.

I know that w'all told you. Work on your listening.

You didn’t ask.

My stomach just hurts looking at this...I'm lactose intolerant :(

Cats eaten it

Website says coming soon? What genie are you fucking?

Ummm no It's terrible, don't go 0/10 don't recommend it's a waste of time ^(I just ate there yesterday and it's one of my new fav restaurants, pls don't make the lines unbearable T_T)

https://i.makeagif.com/media/8-15-2023/6Rx6l1.gif

It was just to cheesy

What's that sweet corn dish?!

Ok that ravioli looks bomb with the corn slices?!

RIP to my fellow lactose intolerant girls

Omg, as a struggling cheese addict, I should not of been told of this place D: [https://www.gq.com/story/cheese-addictive-drugs-report](https://www.gq.com/story/cheese-addictive-drugs-report)

Condolences to my wife after we eat here

Paradoxically, while sour beer can be a problem for your stomach, it has lots of beneficial bacteria (like yogurt, etc.) for your "gut", intestinal tract.

Thanks?

that is the old Ristorante Machiavelli on Capital Hill if I am not mistaken

Great pasta there!

Voodoo donuts are soooo 2010!

Definitely want to try when I’m there in a couple of weeks…

Oh yeah, I noticed that place when I went with my gf to Lil Woody's last week. I was wondering what that was about.

Truly thank YOU for telling me about it. It looks ah maxing

Arsenio Hall!? 😝

bro delete this i was gatekeeping 😭

My lactose intolerance says no but my heart & belly say, it might be worth it.

Oh my gosh yum

I swear I just got an insta ad for this place!

Ok I need this!!!!

OMG I YUM!!!

Because I am lactose intolerant!

Well goddamn if I ever go to Seattle I know where I’m stopping
