Food Thing
Saganaki at Sagittarius in Skala, Greece
"Saganaki" can actually refer to any Grecian appetizer prepped in a "sagani" frying pan. But the most ubiquitous app is Greek cheese, usually halloumi, fried up and adorned with tangy lemon juice and pepper. It can be served with bread or veggies or — why not? — eaten straight up.
The dish is popular around the world, but of course best enjoyed in Grecian restaurants like Sagittarius, which serves a simply delicious rendition.
