A small taste of TOledo

OK so Toledo may be the Glass capital and frog city Why?.. I'm not sure.. but a culinary wasteland it is not...Toledo has more restaurants per capita than any other u.s City..So the urban legend goes..However many are the lame chain type dining experiences with specialties like the ever popular chicken fingers...None the less I do find interesting places to explore unique foods..So my exploration tonight was with an adventurous friend.. Our first point was the Beirut a place that has been serving the Toledo area Middle Eastern food seemingly forever..A common place for me but always a treat to take someone for the first time!After a plate of grape leaves and some Falafel we decided to take the tour a bit further and get some sushi..For this I chose Sakura a nice atmosphere and a delightful selection of products..I asked the Chef to create one roll and a few Shashimi..He supplied us with Tuna Shashmimi and a spicy salmon and avocado roll..Both quite nice..I really enjoy letting the chef select things for me It makes the experience that much more special..After the far east and the middle east our tour was to be cut to an end but for sure I will continue to explore what is around me...Actually I'm Still Hungry any suggestions...
