Genessee Royale: Count (the last days) of Monte Cristo

Todd Schulte, the owner of Genessee Royale, the stylish breakfast-and-lunch restaurant in the West Bottoms, is more than ready for warmer weather to appear. He wants to open the glass-paned garage doors — this space really was a garage and gas station once — and begin serving meals outside on the patio.

He’s also ready to introduce a new menu at the end of this month. One of the casualties of the menu change will be this restaurant’s popular Monte Cristo sandwich.
