Louisville Winner: /pôr/ wine house Erie Winner: 24 Carrot Bistro Lafayette Winner: Community Supper Club It’s no surprise that The Roost won over our readers’ taste buds from the start with a big menu of appetizer winners and beer-friendly snacks.
Consider the eatery’s hard-to-resist Totchos — think nachos with tater tots instead of chips — plus a stellar roasted pear salad with goat cheese and creamy scallop chowder. The something-for-everyone small plates include vegan crisply fried cauliflower, blistered shishitos and a hummus bowl with falafel.
