Whenever I eat out, I always ask what's the most popular dish on the menu. My reasoning is that if everyone else is ordering it, it must be good. Secondly, the dish has to be fresh since it’s being made multiple times a day. On a recent trip to Israel, my husband and I got a table at ‘Lechem Basaar' restaurant in Jerusalem. We sat adjacent to the kitchen, and while looking over the menu and deciding what to order, we couldn't help but notice that one particular dish was being brought out by the dozens. It just kept on coming out. So when the waitress came to take our order, I didn't have to ask what the most popular dish was – I just asked her for that delicious looking meat pie. She told us that it is the beef focaccia and it is definitely the most ordered item on the menu. We devoured it in minutes and with every bite I knew that I couldn’t wait to recreate it back at home.
