Two weeks ago, me and a fellow friend of mine, Amanda went to eat at the fabulous Little Savannah in Forest Park as kind of a "splurge/treat ourselves well" kinda night. We started off with the Lobster Caprese, and then while I had the braised pork cheeks with polenta she had this wonderful bowl of different types of seafood in this amazing broth that we did not know how to pronounce, ha. Our meal was amazing and it was a wonderful night of conversation, drinks (including 3 homemade cellos that about kicked our butt) and fabulous food. While we were trying each others entrees, she opted to get me to try a mussel because I had never had one before. I knew I would probably like it because I like oysters, but I actually liked them even more. Maybe it was the combination of everything in the bowl along with the amazing broth, but I seriously went to bed that night and woke up at 5am thinking about making my own big bowl of broth and mussels!
1 teaspoon salt
Scoop mussels and their broth into bowls and serve with warm bread on the side.
