The answer is always yes when asked if we want to order the meat and cheese board. And there's no question as to where we want to order it from: Gigi's on Fairmount, where the All of the Above Board ($24) is a study in deliciousness. "[The name] comes from when you take a test and it says, 'D: All of the above,' " says co-owner Jim Patsch. The appetizer features shaved imported capicola, soppressata and prosciutto, four kinds of premium cheeses, house-made chicken liver pate, a ramekin of plump olives, fresh Stone Oven bread, a little salad, local honey with lavender flowers, dried fruits, nuts and a selection of pickles. "I would say it feeds four to six people," Patsch says, "but I've had it as my meal." It gets an A-plus from us. 3477 Fairmount Blvd., Cleveland Heights, 216-291-7237, gigisonfairmount.com
