The Dishes
The review focused on appetizers from Shane of So Chilligans. The mozzarella sticks were the first item tested, and the reviewer conducted an immediate stretch test to check the quality of the cheese pull. While the sticks had excellent stretch and gooey cheese when fresh, they noted the temperature had dropped slightly during delivery, making them a bit less optimal than eating them fresh at the restaurant.
The second dish was a creative sausage-wrapped cheese appetizer that became the real star of the tasting. This indulgent creation featured cheese wrapped in sausage and deep fried, creating a decadent combination. The sausage grease visibly dripped off the cheese, which the reviewer noted as a sign of quality. The cheese filling was so well-executed that it literally squirted when bitten into, demonstrating the generous amount of melted cheese inside.
