I don't get out much these days beyond the local watering-hole, but the limited circle of restaurants I have gotten around to visiting in 2011 served me up some awesome cheese-centric dishes. Here are my top six menu items featuring CHEESE in Boston/Cambridge:

Deuxave (Back Bay) besides being generally delicious, serves goat cheese & potato croquette with their steak. If you're wondering, that means creamy whipped potatoes are mixed with goat cheese and then fried. Screw the steak, these croquettes are freakin amazing.

City Girl (Inman Square) serves a tasty brunch in their tiny space on Saturdays and Sundays, part of which is a goat cheese bacon & caramelized onion egg sandwich. Yup, it's really good. Mostly because it combines three of my favorite ingredients (bacon, goat cheese, caramelized onion). You should try it.
