My
wife
and
I,
who
live
in
suburban
Detroit,
were
in
Cleveland
for
an
event
earlier
this
year
and
went
to
Momocho
for
the
first
time.
We
were
truly
impressed
by
how
great
it
was.
How
impressed?
So
much
so
that
we
drove
from
Detroit
to
celebrate
our
34th
wedding
anniversary
there!
And,
to
no
surprise,
our
second
experience
at
Momocho
was
even
better
than
our
first!
As
someone
who
loves
to
cook,
the
Chef's
Table
was
an
incredible
place
to
sit.
And
I
have
to
say,
Chef
Nick
was
so
friendly
and
accommodating.
We
talked
about
cooking,
he
made
great
recommendations,
and
just
made
the
evening
even
more
enjoyable.
(He
even
shared
his
secret
for
cooking
an
awesome
Thanksgiving
turkey.)
Also,
MJ,
who
was
helping
out
(getting
our
drinks,
etc.)
was
fab,
too.
The
food
was
spectacular.
We
had
a
flight
of
guacs
(pecorino,
smoked
trout,
and
goat
cheese),
the
grilled
octopus,
and
the
carrot
elote.
All
so
damn
good!
I
had
the
pork
chop
entree
and
my
wife
had
the
butternut
squash
flautas
(you
*have*
to
get
the
fried
egg
on
top!).
No
surprise
that
those
dishes
were
perfect
as
well.
Unfortunately,
we
were
so
full,
we
couldn't
do
dessert.
But
watching
the
fried
ice
cream
being
prepared
was
almost
as
good
as
eating
it.
(Not
really.
We'll
get
some
next
time!)
Oh,
yeah.
The
blood
orange
and
honey-ginger
margaritas?
Stellar.
I
love
the
combination
of
flavors
the
Momocho
team
puts
together,
not
only
in
their
food,
but
in
their
drinks,
too.
We've
only
been
there
twice,
but
Momocho
is
our
favorite
restaurant.
Period.
The
only
downside?
That
it's
2
hours
and
45
minutes
away
from
our
house.
But,
you
know
what?
That's
a
small
sacrifice
to
make
for
such
delicious
food
and
drink!
We'll
be
back!
And
we
might
bring
friends
with
us
the
next
time!
