Here\u2019s a look at the best things we ate in May.<\/p>\n

Hi friends, Heidi<\/b> here. As I scroll back in my mind through May, a couple of delicious burgers are sticking out. Each stand out in different ways, and I\u2019d eat both again any time, so I\u2019ll share both.<\/p>\n

Early in the month at Market on Morehead\u2019s<\/a><\/b> media preview, I sampled complimentary bites of its signature M.O.M. Burger<\/b> and truffle fries, but what really pulled it all together was the restaurant\u2019s house-made smoked ketchup. As someone who seeks out big flavors (and thinks about the complexity of them for way too long afterward), I haven\u2019t stopped talking about it since. I\u2019ll certainly be back as a paying customer soon.<\/p>\n

Another crave-worthy burger was the Crazy Double Burger<\/b> at Crazy Burger<\/a>,<\/b> a new restaurant on Central Avenue. I limited myself to inhaling only half of that beast while I sat in the dining room, but if I wasn\u2019t working so hard with my nutritionist, I\u2019d have easily eaten the whole thing while it was hot and fresh. The seasoning of those enormous patties was on point.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Melissa<\/b>, and if you don\u2019t know how much I love cheese already, I\u2019m about to make it more clear. The first time I visited Postino<\/a><\/b> was years ago at one of its original locations in Phoenix. Since its expansion to Charlotte, I\u2019ve been wanting to revisit the wine bar, and I finally got the chance a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m only recently learning to be OK with mushrooms, so to my surprise, I found myself drawn to the roasted mushroom fondue<\/b>. True, it was probably the \u201cfondue\u201d part that was calling my name, with melted white cheddar, truffle and roasted crimini mushrooms, served with focaccia crostini. It was delicious and didn\u2019t have the texture of mushrooms at all (which had been my concern).<\/p>\n

I also had a Table Cheese board<\/b>, which included a rotating selection of cheeses with whipped ricotta & Calabrian honey, seasonal jam, honey, toasted nuts and crisp breads. I loved every bite of it, except for the whipped ricotta. (To be honest, it was a bit bland!)<\/p>\n

What\u2019s up y\u2019all? It\u2019s Evan<\/b>. You know how Melissa feels about cheese? I feel the same way about carbs \u2014 and Italo<\/a><\/b>, a new upscale Italian restaurant in uptown, has plenty of them. The restaurant takes a lot of pride in its homemade pasta, and after trying it, it\u2019s easy to see why.<\/p>\n

During a media preview, I sampled several complimentary dishes, including the tagliatelle, which came loaded with ragu bianco bolognese, wagyu beef, pancetta, prosciutto, mortadella and pecorino romano. Honestly, I didn\u2019t know what half those ingredients were, but they blended together to create one of the most comforting (and filling) bowls of pasta I\u2019ve ever had.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also mentioned before that I have a serious sweet tooth, so I was especially excited to try the desserts. Out of the three I sampled, the Torta Al Cioccolato easily stood out. The salted caramel ganache poured out of the center of the pillowy chocolate cake like molten lava from Pompeii \u2014 except this is one disaster you\u2019ll happily run toward.<\/p>\n
