I honestly don't know what we paid for this as an appetizer back in the
day. My best girlfriend and I would go out to have a couple of drinks
and a snack, listen to some music. We almost always split a basket of
battered fried mushrooms. They probably cost about $3.

Sometimes we ordered deep fried cheese, another appetizer. It came with
a nice marinara sauce. The cheese was a combination of mozzarella and
sharp cheddar, breaded then fried. Cubes, not "cheese sticks". Also
not mostly breading. Dreadfully hot (ouch! Must let it cool before
taking a bite.) Delicious.

The restaurant hasn't been there for decades. I don't even remember the
name of it.
