"For the holidays, ordering appetizers was a must. At CBD Provisions, the Texas charcuterie board scratched that itch. It is loaded with house-made sausage and bread, hot soppressata, various kinds of cheese, chicken liver mousse, and the best pickles you’ll find downtown. Not pictured is the filet au Poivre ordered for the main, which scratched the itch for steak with a stunningly good sauce. Many thanks to our waiter, who talked us into the banana pudding — despite being full, we ate it all." - Courtney E. Smith
