The Best Thing I Ever Ate - Appetizer

A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to go to Michael Symon's restaurant Lola in Cleveland, Ohio. I went with my sister, my niece and my aunt and we had such a wonderful time. The one thing I had been looking forward to from the moment I knew we were going was the Beef Cheek Pierogies. As you know from a previous post, I love pierogies. You may also remember I love beef cheek, so this is the most amazing combination of both. The sauce is a horseradish cream sauce, which is another of my favorite flavors. It was like he made this dish just for me!

If you find yourself in Cleveland I cannot recommend Lola enough, you really must go!

What is the best appetizer you ever ate?

    That looks delicious!! Appetizers are one of my favorite things. The best one right now is the lobster pizza at Red Lobster.

    I firmly believe the best appetizer is the one I'm going to have next. Eternal optimist :)

    This, however, looks fantastic.

    OMG, that looks good! I worked at a high end restaurant as a manager. On the nights I worked I could have anything I wanted off the menu (well, except for lobster!) but I could have a ribeye steak with a peppercorn sauce, or crab cakes - but I always at the goat cheese appetizer.

    Two garlic crostini's topped with breaded and baked goat cheese, on the bottom was a thin layer of proscuitto and then it was drizzled with a balsamic reduction - my mouth is drooling just thinking about it!

    Out to eat it is creamy artichoke dip. @ home bacon wrapped homemade jalopeneo poppers! Appitizers are awesome.
