Why do they call them appetizers? Do they give one an appetite? I always bring my appetite with me so I never bought one.

How could anyone know who has the best? Isn't it a matter of one's taste preference?

And, one final question, who eats out for the appetizer? Isn't the meal enough?

The escargot at Hemingway is the bomb!

As far as who has the best....well it is a matter of personal preference however we tend to order the same ones each time so we really haven't experimented much. I thought I'd see who has tried what and what they think of them.
We usually like to go for just appetizers maybe for an afternoon snack instead of eating lunch. It nice to maybe eat a variety of snacks instead of just one big meal. By the time you get done you feel as though you've had a whole meal. Many of them are really good.

Now that's food for thought! We like the boom boom shrimp at The Lighthouse. When we go to Cody's sometimes we just sit at the bar and get appetizers...baked potato

Thanks, I never thought of that.

TOTV.............a learning place!

I like the appetizers at Chili's on 441. They have quite a few and are very large. Their chips and salsa is excellent also. The chips are warm, thin and crispy and the salsa tastes homemade.

Hubby loves the chicken fingers (appetizer) at the Lighthouse. They aren't on the menu anymore, but if you ask the will accommodate you. He usually ends up taking a few home, because they are so big.

Is that a good thing or a really bad thing?

I'd go with Sakura, get some rolls, some hot food and share.

What is bang bang shrimp?

Bang Bang shrimp is at Bonefish Grill, they are awesome but you have to like spicy! It's our favorite by far! On Weds. they have them on special I think $5, someone correct me if I'm wrong :)

I tend to avoid franchised, chain restaurants like the plague ..... but the mussels at Carrabba's are prob the best I have ever eaten!

Thanks, I'll be checking that out.

The bang bang shrimp are $5 at Bonefish on Wednesday. Their bar food includes 2 soft tacos filled with bang bang shrimp for $6 between 4 and 6 Sunday through Thursday. Excellent!

The mussels at Bonefish put the ones at RedSauce to shame. They are consistently large and flavorful. Sop up the sauce with the excellent bread.
