Bowls At Verona Restaurant Are Made Of Cheese (VIDEO)

VERONA, NJ — It’s parmesan. It’s cheese. It’s… a bowl? That’s the unique item that Frank Anthony's Gourmet Italian Restaurant and Fine Catering in Verona is serving up to its patrons, who are going nuts over their “cheese bowls.”

The edible dishware - basically giant parmesan crisps wrought into the shapes of bowls - can be packed with “basically anything on the menu,” Food Insider reported (see video below).

Verona town officials gave the local restaurant a tip of their cap for thinking outside of the box on Friday. Get a glimpse of the cheesy receptacles below and learn more about this local restaurant here.
