He also tries the restaurant's Butcher's Cut steak, which is cooked to a perfect medium rare and served with a zesty chimichurri sauce.
For dessert, Ali visits Indulgence Chocolatiers, a local chocolate shop known for their artisanal truffles and caramels. Ali tries their peanut butter and jelly truffle, which features a creamy peanut butter filling and a fruity jelly center. He also samples their sea salt caramel, which is the perfect balance of sweet and salty.
To end his food tour, Ali stops by a local brewery called MobCraft. This craft brewery offers a unique experience where customers can vote on the next beer to be brewed. Ali tries a few of their seasonal beers, including a smoky Rauchbier and a refreshing Saison.
