Sage’s Deep-Fried Deviled Eggs

Tastemaker

By Lynda Wheatley | July 30, 2022

Mom always warned us that too much of a good thing isn’t a good thing. And in most cases of culinary lily-gilding—Twinkies transformed into “Raspberry Zingers,” double-cheese pizzas with cheese-stuffed-crusts, etc.—she’s right. In the case of Sage’s latest lounge menu offering, however, she’s four aces short of a full deck. For starters, the Odawa Casino restaurant recently dunked everybody’s favorite hella-good hors d’ovum in a deep fryer. And that’s after whipping those deviled-egg yolks with sriracha and before topping them with candied bacon and green onion. Sweet, salty, rich, creamy, and crunchy all at once, these deep-fried devils are about as close to heaven as you can get here on earth. Find them at Sage Restaurant in Petoskey’s Odawa Casino, 1760 Lears Rd. (231) 344-4420, odawacasino.com
