Princess and the Bear reviewed the reworked Charred Eggplant at Be Our Guest. The Princess found the new single long piece of eggplant meatier than the old thick chunks and loved the celery root purée and sauce, though the greens on top were tough to chew; she gave it 4 out of 5 while missing the old quick-service lunch. The Bear thought the mushrooms push the earthiness too far and would prefer fewer of them, scoring the menu version 3.75 out of 5, but earlier in the video he rated it 4.75 with the toasted blue cheese enhancement added, saying not to skimp on the cheese.
