little drops of heaven -- wrapped in bacon!

On a recent trip to Boston during Memorial weekend, I went for drinks with my friends Amy and Kathleen at this place called Drink in the Waterfront/Seaport neighborhood. This place was fantastic. They made specialty drinks from herbs. Who wouldn't want a cocktail made with rosemary? So refreshing.

While quenching our thirst, Kathleen recommended that we have the bacon-wrapped dates as munchie snacks. Boy oh boy were these phenomenal! These were bacon-wrapped dates with a toasted almond in the center as a pit and on top of a gorgonzola cheese sauce. With one bite, you got the saltiness and crispiness of the bacon, the chewiness and sweetness of the warm gooey date, and the extra crunch of that almond -- all rounded out with the gorgonzola cheese sauce. It's an explosion of flavor that's meant to be savored. I could definitely eat plates of this stuff. This is a must have the next time I'm up there.
