I was in Cleveland for an interview and I had dinner with a group of people the night before. This was also my first time eating at a Michael Symon restaurant.
Appetizers: Crispy Pig Ears
Entree: Smoked Hampshire Pork Chop
Dessert: Sticky Toffee Pudding
Wine: Hypothesis, Napa County
I remember there was another appetizer... I think it was Carpaccio but I can't remember! This was the first time I ever had fried pig ears. Pig ears are common in the Taiwanese-Chinese delis but eaten cold and sliced. Everyone at the table got different entrees and loved what they got. I was debating between the pork chop and scallops but got the pork instead. The polenta was really good and I really liked the horseradish sauce that accompanied the smokiness of the chop.
The ambiance of the restaurant is amazing. I loved the look of the wine rack at first side of the restaurant!
