| Joe's Smoked Mozzarella, Crispy Prosciutto, Tomato, Arugula and Garlic Vinagrette Sandwich (left). If you think about it, that's basically a glorified BLT, but it was the best darned BLT I've had. The mozzarella was good, but not as smokey as I would like, however, the prosciutto and marinated tomatoes were excellent, and I really liked the sandwich. |

| Rogue Chocolate Stout Bread Pudding with Allagash Cherry Sauce (left). This was a very tasty bread pudding with a nice chewy exterior and a soft moist interior, dotted with chocolate. I believe the cherries started out dried and were marinated and turned into a sauce. The cherries were drained and piled on top while the resulting syrup was drizzled around the plate. The syrup tasted great, but I felt that the cherries had lost a little flavor. Otherwise the dessert was quite tasty. |

Tete de Moine, a Raw Cow's Milk cheese from Bern, Switzerland described as, "Dense and seriously intense, fruity flavor, balanced by roasted nut aromas and brine washing," and served with Tuscan Pepper infused honey.

|
| This was a lightly aged, fairly hard cheese, similar to Parmagiano Reggiano but not as hard and not as intense. The most interesting thing was the way they served it. They had a spiral slicer that shaved a thin layer off the top, creating a flower shape (right). Once again the honey, with its mild spiciness, was an excellent complement. |

Paul getting a bit excited about Margie's |
|
Margie's is a bit cramped but does a lot of business due to their tasty toppings such as homemade fudge sauce, caramel sauce and English toffee. |

A huge piece of baklava for $2.50 |
|
This is a half veal parm grinder, a full 8" and weighs about a pound. |
|
Here it is unwrapped, a bit messy b/c the baklava filled me up for a couple hours, but it is indeed very large. |
