FORKING Dishonest RESTAURANT Reviews and DRUNK MONKEYS

IMG_1649

I was browsing a certain review site and noticed THREE reviews already posted for a restaurant that isn’t due to open till May 2016.

THE FORKING TRUTH is that this is dishonest and unethical. Anybody past the age of 7 should know you can’t review a place you haven’t stepped into.

The Restaurant isn’t even open yet.

That is a WTFORK!

Now that is FORKED up!

Now that is FORKED up!

I do understand that this restaurant has other locations and some people might feel like they already know the place. I also note it is possible these reviewers might have been to another one of the restaurant’s other locations………But this is still a WTFork! BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T FORKING been in this restaurant yet.

Nobody wants to read a review when the reviewer hasn’t even forking set their forking mouth and teeth in the restaurant yet.

Doesn’t anyone manage this site?

I let this review’s site’s local and head office know about this and sent them both a “Tweet” because I’ve found that sending them questions threw their site is useless and nobody ever  replies.

The least I would expect was a reply that they aren’t perfect and stride for perfection or some kind of rubbish like that. Instead nothing from them.

The Forking Truth is that they don’t have the

IMG_1668

MEATBALLS to reply to me.

Over the past several months I called this review site on a couple other things I noticed.

I noticed the review of the day was for a restaurant that was temporarily closed for business. I thought that review was very unhelpful for me and a review of a restaurant that was open for business would be a better choice. Again no reply.

Recently I also noticed  that an individual reviewer posted 46 reviews on one day on this particular review site. Any person with a working brain knows nobody goes to that many restaurants in a day, week or month. There is no credibility here when I see someone do something like this. Doesn’t this site have any rules. I contacted this site about what I noticed and asked how many reviews a day can someone post. Just like all the other times nobody replied to me.

Again no forking meatballs.

Tweets, contacting threw customer service and also contacting via talk don’t do a wee bit of good. Here is the FORKING TRUTH of what happened when I contacted them threw the talk page for a problem I had with their restaurant reservation service. This is the forking response I got.

IMG_9801

It makes me think this site must be ran by forking drunk monkeys.

IMG_1667

Well here is to all the no replies and the one worthless reply . It’s the Raspberry you are getting the FORKING Raspberry!

And That’s The Forking Truth

UPDATE! The review site removed the three reviews for the unopened restaurant. 2-8-16 after letting them know four days back.

Things I Forking HATE that some Restaurants offer

IMG_1125

Forking Filthy Salt and Pepper Shakers.

IMG_3272

Forking Filthy Silverware.

IMG_1123

Forking Chipped Glassware and or Plates.

IMG_1124

Slopped up filthy bowls.

IMG_1135

Dirty Floors.

Receiving brand new filthy napkins

Mango and Ube Tart from Casa Filipina Phoenix AZ

Food that isn’t right…The above tarts were hard like rocks and our forking forks couldn’t penetrate them.

IMG_1614

More food that isn’t right. Sent back food and received Recycled Food back. (Cook put orange American Cheese on the burger, scraped if off and slapped on the white cheese among other problems)

Even more forking food that isn’t right. Fondants that are FORKING icing fondant

IMG_1427

Instead of Molten Lava Cakes like they should be.

and something completely different that really annoys me……

IMG_1137

The Forking Weekend Brunch. Not all but it seems like MOST really nice restaurants in the metro area just offers a weekend BRUNCH.

Sometimes restaurants do less business for weekend lunch and must run with less staff to be open. Less staff and fewer menu items help with food cost but that isn’t appealing to everyone.

IMG_1136

I REALLY forking hate brunch. I usually can’t eat out during the week and I’m not going to drive across town on the weekend to eat eggs, french toast, pancakes or forking oatmeal.

I want to have something nice like a fancy entree salad. Maybe a house roasted or house smoked meat sandwich on quality bread with maybe some sort of fancy farmers market side dish. I want something nice, something that inspires me and something that is worth driving across town for…

Usually going out to eat is special and enjoyable.

However filthy Salt and pepper shakers, Chipped glassware or plates, dirty anything that I have to use, dirty floors, food that isn’t right and Weekend Brunch are some of the Things I FORKING HATE that some Restaurants offer.

New Restaurants Usually have Hiccups and Fusion can be Confusion

Inde Fusion Scottsdale AZ

Inde Fusion Scottsdale AZ

I recently went to a beautiful new fusion restaurant that offers a different twist on fusion. This restaurant is sort of global cuisine but uses Indian spices and Indian techniques to prepare food however I found that new restaurants almost always have hiccups and that fusion can be confusion.

I know you are always taking a chance when you dine at a newly opened restaurant. It sometimes takes time for them to get their groove and function like clockwork. Things just don’t always go as planned.

On my visit I found that some things I tried I found superb and amazing. I found a couple dishes to be confusing and lastly the dessert I tried was just forking wrong.

Things started out wonderful. The atmosphere is swank and roomy with interesting accents like these beautiful interesting lanterns and chandeliers. The colors of the interior are rich and warm. Our server was very welcoming, friendly  and pleasant. I started with the most interesting hot tea selection I’ve ever seen anywhere.

IMG_1416

A glowing box contained samples of high end interesting tea for you to sniff.

I soon ordered the organic ginger snap tea and it arrives in an interesting pristine clean vessel. It was a joy to drink! I haven’t enjoyed tea this much in a long time.

IMG_1417

Many interesting choices are offered on the menu. It was hard to decide.  I notice that the menu might be pork free and only has maybe one selection of beef.

We decide to split two appetizers and split a lunch.

We started with the salmon croquettes.

IMG_1420

The croquettes were crisp, seemed oil free and were just bursting with interesting flavors and the raita sauce complimented them just right. I was so happy at this point because everything was so great! I thought this was the start to a five star experience. I could have eaten a sack of these little salmon croquettes they were that tasty!

Then came the Szechuan Chicken lollipops.

IMG_1422

The lollipops had a nice crisp crust that had a little heat in them. The crust itself was tasty and might have had Szechuan Peppercorn in it. The chicken was cooked nice but not developed with flavor.  Slightly bummed at this point because I’ve had other chicken lollipops that were much tastier. Then my heart sank a little more when the same raita sauce I just had came again came with the chicken because I thought a Szechuan sauce was sort of needed here for something called Szechuan Chicken Lollipops. For me this was some fusion confusion. Maybe a hiccup because it’s a new restaurant. I peeked at the online menu since I don’t recall what I read in the restaurant and the online menu states different sauces.

Now our tandoori chicken sandwich arrives.

IMG_1425

I imagined receiving a wildly flavorful chicken on my sandwich. I received plain pressed chicken breast on a fresh roll with mint chutney and a sriracha aioli was on the side. This was nothing like what I imagined the sandwich would be like because when I think of tandoori chicken I think of chicken that was marinated and seasoned with something like cayenne, chili, turmeric and paprika and I certainly don’t think this chicken was cooked in a tandoori either. For me this was more Fusion Confusion. Again not bad food …..but not how exciting I thought it would be. I was confused because I thought that Tandoori Chicken would taste like tandoori chicken. The Sriracha aioli sauce on the side was tasty and I wasn’t sure if it was a dipping sauce for the fries or a spread for the sandwich. This was more confusion for me.

I do have to say not a forking thing was wrong with the masala fries as they were delicious and additive. I would certainly recommend ordering the masala fries.

I saw chocolate fondant on the menu so I wanted to give that a try because you don’t see chocolate fondants on many menus. A fondant is a small but rich French kind of Chocolate Lava Cake.

I imagined getting something like this……… warm with a molten center. It’s usually made with high end chocolate and is very satisfying.

IMG_1450

Instead I got a cold but attractive lump of chocolate sugar paste. I received a lump of chocolate (laced with orange) fondant frosting.

Inde Fusion Scottsdale AZ

Inde Fusion Scottsdale AZ

Can’t blame this on fusion confusion this was forking just confusion.  It makes me sad that the chef clearly isn’t a pastry chef but I do note they used good quality chocolate. I am also concerned that the management and all the employees working there don’t have a clue on what a fondant is.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to alert them about the fondant because it was complimentary given to me by the management because the original lunch I ordered wasn’t ready to be served but I was going to order this dessert anyway.

New restaurants usually have hiccups and fusion can be confusion.

Your most likely not going to drive across town to dine here but if your in the neighborhood this place is suggested.

Your most likely not going to drive across town to dine here until they work things out. If they work things out there is potential here for destination dining. Some things were OUTSTANDING…some things need some work…

Are You an Impaired Taster?

IMG_1407

Are you an impaired taster?

Most adults over the age of sixty  (according to www.Healthline.com ) begin to show signs of impaired taste.

Impaired taste means that your sense of taste is not functioning properly.

IMG_1410

Impaired taste can refer to an absence of taste OR a metallic taste in the mouth.

IMG_1412

The forking bad news is that impaired taste is a sign of normal aging.

IMG_1408

(Bummer…..the alternative is forking worse.)

Besides aging there are other causes for impaired taste.

respiratory illness

smoking

Sandwiches that are most Worth Mentioning in the Metro Phoenix Area

 

The Rueben Rueben From Scott's Generations Phoenix AZ

The Rueben Rueben From Scott’s Generations Phoenix AZ

I haven’t tried every sandwich out there in the Metro Phoenix Area but I have tried quite a few and these are the sandwiches most worth mentioning of what I tried recently.

Scott’s Generations is among the few places in the Metro Phoenix Area that serves up respectable tasty Pastrami on double baked seeded rye bread. The pastrami is full flavored and peppery and not too lean and not too fatty. It’s just right! I do warn you that the sandwich is enough to feed two-three people so your going to hurt yourself if you attempt to eat the whole forking thing. Scott’s Generations is also one of the few restaurants I know of in the area that also offers belly lox and sturgeon.

Rayner's Chocolate and Coffee Shop Phoenix AZ

Rayner’s Chocolate and Coffee Shop Glendale AZ

Rayner’s is a small English Cafe,  Bakeshop, Chocolate Shop, Coffee Shop and small goods store in Glendale AZ. They call this sandwich, “Best Grilled Cheese in The Whole World Sandwich.” Well the forking truth is that it’s NOT the best grilled cheese in the whole world sandwich but it is the best tasting vegetarian sandwich I had in a long time. The chef made tasty sauces on the right vegetables with that white rye bread are extra special,not too heavy and you might have room from very good fresh baked treats or the best hand made chocolates around.

Nocawich Tempe AZ

Nocawich Tempe AZ

While Scott’s Generation’s is known for dependable respectable good pastrami ….It must be said that the Wagu Pastrami from Nocawich in Tempe is your special occasion pastrami. It’s prepared in house and there is no other like it in all of the Phoenix Metro Area. I just wish it was piled on a little thicker. It’s luscious, it’s smokey, it pops with flavors and is a special occasion treat.

It has been noted in many publications that the “What the Cluck” chicken sandwich is the best sandwich from Nocawich but I haven’t been able to try that one as of yet. Nocawich is also known for other highest quality sandwiches, baked goods and triple fried French Fries. I do note that this restaurant is located by ASU and the atmosphere was terribly loud when I was there.

Cafe

Old Town Sarajevo Phoenix AZ

Bosnian Sandwiches on UNIQUE Bosnian fresh made to order bread are served at Old Town Sarajevo in Phoenix AZ.  The bread is uniquely light textured like a donut and is a slightly greasy. The specialty is the house made case-less spicy beef sausage. The condiment you use here is ajvar that made from roasted red peppers, eggplant and spices. It’s worth a trip here because the atmosphere. It’s like a town from a Disney Park gone Bosnian and most of the customers are Bosnian.

Beef on Weck from Taste of Buffalo Glendale AZ

Beef on Weck from Taste of Buffalo Glendale AZ

The Beef on Weck Sandwich is normally only served in the buffalo area. This sandwich is served on a hard kaiser roll brushed with caraway seeds and salt. Inside the sandwich is a big mound of tasty medium rare beef (well closer to medium) served on a dipped roll with au jus and fresh horseradish. A delicious sandwich that you can get at A taste of Buffalo in Glendale AZ.

Noble Bread Phoenix AZ

Noble Eatery Phoenix AZ

Most of the best restaurants of the Metro Phoenix area feature Noble Bread. Noble Eatery is a very small counter with a few tables that offers a daily changing menu of a few locally sourced fruit or vegetable dishes, a couple crusty flat fresh baked sandwiches and smorgas. Smorgas are chunks of heirloom grain Noble Bread usually served with a vegetable or Italian tuna, grain and bean mixture.

This tiny restaurant is very similar in food style to Pane Bianco. Both are rustic with an Italian accent and relay on simplest high end ingredients for comforting flavor.

Both restaurants serve fresh made to order crusty local heirloom grain flat bread sandwiches that look similar with quality fillings. I must have been to Pene Bianco over half a dozen times but haven’t been there recently because they took my favorite sandwich off the menu and changed my husband’s favorite sandwich from the original menu. The current sandwiches are very good too. The recommended sandwich has always been the hand pulled mozzarella with tomato and fresh basil from Pane Bianco.

Neither Noble Eatery or Pane Bianco have a public restaurant so you are not going to travel from far to dine at either restaurant.

Banh Mi Sandwich

Banh Mi Sandwich

Bahn Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery offers tasty Bahn Mi Sandwiches and more. They offer TEN kinds of Bahn Mi Sandwiches on rice and wheat flour baguettes. You get that crunch and soft center with all those tasty fillings of pickled carrot and radish, crunchy cucumber, fresh cilantro and house made aioli. This restaurant is a favorite among locals for the tasty food and low prices too!

Cheezheads Peoria AZ

Cheezheads Peoria AZ

Cheezheads of Peoria AZ is worth mentioning because they make the tastiest cheesesteak we’ve found so far. The roll is a little on the soft side and would be elevated with toasting but it is a fresh baked roll prepared in house and it’s good. The filling is ribeye steak that is very tender and seasoned just so. It’s a very good sandwich that deserves a shout out

One of the tastiest sandwiches of all came from a not necessarily a sandwich shop but what might be considered a complex.

Ocotillo Phoenix AZ

Ocotillo Phoenix AZ

The Tandori Sandwich from Ocotillo Phoenix AZ. This sandwich was interesting and complex. It was just bursting with all kinds of flavors and made with high quality very delicious chicken. The bread also seemed like it was fresh made.

A honorable mention has to go to Rocket Burger in Phoenix AZ.

Rocket Burger is a casual budget eatery that offers a variety of burgers that are hand packed angus beef in various sizes along with many other items.

It must be mentioned that Rocket Burger offers a forking GIANT wall of bottled sodas for you to choose from.

Rocket Burger also offers many other sandwiches. Recently I had the Mexican Spicy Fish Sandwich.

Rocket Burger Phoenix AZ

Rocket Burger Phoenix AZ

Breaded Cod topped with an extremely flavorful and surprisingly delicious slaw. I washed it down with a dry cucumber soda.

These were the Sandwiches Most Worth Mentioning that I tried in the Metro Phoenix Area.

The FORKING Weirdest Radish I’ve ever Forking Seen WTF is That?

IMG_0754

Look at these things!

Don’t they forking look like female bottoms?

They are Forking Radishes!

Here’s some forking things I read about radishes………..

Did you forking know that radishes are members of the mustard or cabbage family?

It’s said that radishes help with stomach aches and forking hiccups.

On December 23rd in Oaxaca Mexico is “The Night of the RADISH.” Displays of the Nativity are done in forking radishes.

In Beatrix Potter’s Book Peter Rabbit ate a radish.

Some Radishes grow up to THREE FEET Long and Weigh up to a HUNDRED POUNDS!

IMG_0755

I know radishes come in many shapes, colors and sizes but I’ve never seen them looks like forking butts before.

I saw these radishes at the Asian Market. The sign above them young radishes. The forking truth is that they felt squishy and old so I didn’t purchase any.

Strawberry Milk Chocolate M&M’s are not Forking Bad

IMG_1197

Every once in a while a new M&M’s Flavor other than the classics of Plain and Peanut is OK or Very Good. I would rate the Strawberry Milk Chocolate M&M’s OK. This is the first OK New flavor in a long forking time for me.

Once you open the Strawberry Milk Chocolate M&M’s bag you get the aroma of real chocolate and strawberries.

I thought they might be pink inside but the M&M’s just look like regular Plain M&M’s inside.

They kind of remind me of strawberry flavored milk I drank when I was a child…but with chocolate.

These M&M’s actually taste like chocolate and sort of like strawberries without a weird aftertaste that I normally get when I try a new variety of M&M’s. That’s the BIG difference between this new flavor and lots of the other limited edition flavors I tried. No weird after taste here.

Strawberry Milk Chocolate M&M’s are not Forking Bad and are “Worth a Fork.”

This is tasty and that's The Forking Truth

An Accidental Forking Masterpiece – Fresh Feta Dill and Caraway Won Ton Raviolis

Fresh "Feta" Dill and Caraway Won Ton Raviolis

Fresh “Feta” Dill and Caraway Won Ton Raviolis

I accidentally made a creamy delicious feta like tasting cheese when I tried to make cheese out of boxed Trader Joes Whipping Cream.

I had 3 8oz. boxes of boxed Trader Joes Whipping Cream for the shelf and I wanted to make them into mascarpone cheese before they expired. (ricotta is made the same way but with the addition of whole milk.

I know that you need heavy cream for cheese making.

I know whipping cream is NOT what you are suppose to use for cheese making.

Unfortunately majority of  grocery stores near where I live don’t sell heavy cream so I use whipping cream all the time without a problem until this time.

I had my cream and a pinch of salt at a slow boil let it go a little like I always do and kept adding lemon juice and noticed it wouldn’t curdle. Lemon Juice always makes the cream curdle something was wrong. As a last ditch effort I added some vinegar and it still wouldn’t curdle but it slightly thickened.  I tried to save it and I drained the mixture over night.

I looked at it the next day and I got a cheese with a cream cheese like texture that taste like really good creamy fresh made feta you’d find at farmers markets or only taste at high end restaurants. Not at all like that supermarket crumbly cardboard like flat tasting feta. Somehow the extra lemon juice and the addition of white vinegar made the whipping cream taste like really good feta cheese.

It turns out that the boxed for-the-shelf cream has more carrageenan gum in it than refrigerated cream and is similar to manufacturing cream. Unfortunately when you purchase cream you have no idea how much carrageenan gum is in it. The less gum the better for cheese making. Manufacturing cream is much cheaper and made with more gum in it.  Often but not always manufacturing cream is sold to restaurants and  used to prepare creamy sauces because it doesn’t break from all the gum in it. After the fact I am guessing that is why this boxed cream had a good shelf life.

I know the cheese I made isn’t real feta but it taste just like fresh made feta so I’m calling it FORKING  FETA even though it’s faux-feta.

FYI- Feta cheese is usually made from sheep’s milk and may contain up to 30% goat’s milk to be technical. There are also guidelines for measuring moisture content.

Well any way at home I had some leftover won ton skins, fresh dill and lemon.

So I laid out some won ton skins and filled a disposable pastry bag half way with the cheese mixture and twist the end.

IMG_1282

Squirt out some cheese on each won ton skin

IMG_1284

Top with a little fresh dill and a few caraway seeds to make the flavors POP!

IMG_1286

Just wet the won ton ends with water and fold.

IMG_1287

Squeeze out air and flatten filling

IMG_1288

Boil in salted water a minute or two or until they float.

Top with a sprinkle of extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, fresh ground sea salt and fresh ground black pepper and garnish with a small amount of fresh dill and SERVE RIGHT AWAY!

Fresh "Feta" Dill and Caraway Won Ton Raviolis

Fresh “Feta” Dill and Caraway Won Ton Raviolis

Now you have a masterpiece too! Well something that taste like a masterpiece anyway…..The raviolis come out with such a great flavors and that really perfect light as air ravioli texture. The won ton skins are so perfectly thin that you can only get by rollers from a machine without spending $200. for a KitchenAid roller attachment (to make your own). The cheese inside just sort of melts, kind of becomes the sauce for the ravioli in your mouth and is so umptiously good. Every thing together is  so delicious. The caraway seeds add something special that makes the flavors pop. My husband tasted them and screamed, “THESE ARE FORKING GREAT!” but he really used the real “F” word this time.

This is something you might want to make either with your own fresh cheese or with fresh made creamy feta cheese. I note that store purchased feta will not taste good with this recipe.

Your Welcome!

These are FORKING GREAT and that's The Forking Truth

Patti La Belle’s Sweet Potato Pie

IMG_1099

There is a lot of hype for Patti La Belle’s Sweet Potato Pies that are sold at Walmart for $3.48. How good can a $3.48 pie taste? In fact this pie is so popular that instead of being a seasonal offer it’s being offered all year long and other Patty La Belle desserts will be offered too. So sometime last month I decided to give the Patti La Belle Sweet potato pie a try.

I don’t eat sweet potato pies very often but have tried them out at restaurants. I also don’t eat pumpkin pies very often either at the most only two slices a year at holiday time.  I am comparing this store purchased Sweet Potato Pie to store purchased pumpkin pies that I try at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

IMG_1100

The pie is a little hard to get out if the box. You’d never expect some sort of high quality glue holding the box together from Walmart. I almost couldn’t get the forking pie out of the box.

Part of the crust is crimped and some of the crust is just smooth on the ends. It says on the box for a fresh baked taste to heat the pie up at 300 degrees F for 10-20 minutes so I give it a try that way.

IMG_1101

I taste it warmed up.

I think the most different thing about the pie is the texture of the sweet potato filling. It’s not as custardy something like a boxed Mrs Smith’s Pumpkin Pie or a Costco boxed pumpkin pie. The filling is softer and lighter. The crust is flaky and taste sort of floury. The main flavor in the filling taste like maybe fresh grated nutmeg and then you get one other spice in the background like possibly cinnamon. You don’t get that warm clove taste or snappy ginger taste like in some but not all pumpkin pies. I thought the pie was good but it did leave a really sweet taffy kind of taste as the finish in my mouth.

So I tried it a second time but room temperature this time. This time I got the more custardy feel that I’m used to. I thought the nutmeg flavor came out more for me at room temperature and I didn’t get that sweet after taste this time. I thought the crust lacked a natural butter taste that I prefer in pie crust but was still flaky and not like wet cardboard like most store purchased pies. I preferred the pie at room temperature.

The Forking Truth is that It’s a pretty good pie for $3.48 comparing it to other machine made store purchased pies.

My Forking Review of GE Monogram Appliances and GE Customer Service – Not Worth a FORK!

IMG_1098

My home came with all GE Monogram Appliances. My first problem was that my dishwasher had a slow leak and ruined my cabinets and flooring and trim. The dishwasher and home were under warranty so the dishwasher was replaced and some but not all repairs were done.

I also had a problem with my GE Monogram Wall Oven. It kept shutting off so the GE repairman replaced my control panel and touch pad for $300.00. My oven still kept shutting itself off. This time the GE repairman does a visual inspection. He finds the problem this time. My oven had an incorrect connector wire that caught on fire and was burned out. It was replaced with a correct ceramic connector that only cost less than $10.00. I spent the $300.00 on a new control touch and control pad I didn’t need due to the GE repairman’s diagnosis.

The biggest GE Monogram problem I had was my microwave oven that I seldom used. I moved into my house a couple days before Jan-1-07. In short 5 magnetrons have failed in my microwave oven between October 2007-2010. A magnetron I’m told is suppose to last 5 years. For some reason they wear out in GE Monogram Microwave ovens. It’s not free to get the GE repairman here and I spent quite a bundle on all those forking visits. Not to mention these were very expensive appliances that I paid for in the price of my home.

First GE Monogram Microwave repair Oct 25th-07 -replaced magnetron

Second Microwave repair June 30th -08 -replaced magnetron

Third Microwave repair November 13th -08 replaced magnetron

Forth Microwave repair October 26th -09 replaced magnetron

A few months latter the microwave stopped working again. Guessing it’s the magnetron again.

I asked and actually begged GE to replace my microwave oven since it was a defective lemon of an appliance. A magnetron should last 5 years but they were not understanding and wouldn’t replace my Microwave Oven.

I spoke to someone named Tommy from GE who only offered me 50% off parts and labor or a discount to purchase a new GE microwave oven. Yet I would have to find a trim kit on my own. I checked the discount Tommy offered me at my local appliance store and the discount turned out to be  very minimal.

I decided to throw out my (over $1,000.00) microwave oven and had a couple hundred dollar Frigidaire Microwave Oven installed. I haven’t had any trouble with my Frigidaire Microwave Oven so far. it’s been working great for years and actually works much better.

Currently I’ve had some trouble with the interior plastic cracking in my GE Monogram Refrigerator.

IMG_1095

The egg tray also feel apart a few years back.

Every day I wonder how long my dishwasher will work because the screws holding it together are rusted.

IMG_1096

IMG_1097

Currently my lower GE Monogram Oven shuts off while on. I haven’t had it repaired yet at this time because it’s an intermittent problem and I have to wait till it’s worst so a repairman can witness it’s not working. At the time of this post it works about 80% of the time. I also don’t use the lower oven often.

I’ve also had a repair to the GE Monogram Refrigerator over the past year or so. I didn’t document it and  I just forgot what it was but I do have the repair bill on file.

From my experience

GE Customer Relations are not understanding.

GE Appliance Repair is NOT accurate diagnosing repairs.

GE Appliances are NOT QUALITY.

NOT Worth a FORK!

NOT Worth a FORK!
