Apparently it's beneath contempt to order creme brulee. I don't care. I LIKE creme brulee.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

What is even happening?
Yeah. Turner's Fallen Chocolate Cake can become the acid washed jeans of the dessert world, but I'll order it with pride, as long as they make it.

Isn't the answer to that question simple when the food in common is delicious, trendy, and genre appropriate?
Yeah. Most of the categories of "menu items" in that article seemed way too broad. Like, I think one of the other things that was on every menu was "salmon with some sort of cream-like sauce."

The passion fruit mousse was the best I ever had, but for a non-sweet-toothy person I've run across a lot of other good desserts:
2) baked candied orange at Marena's in Memphis
3) Sin (a chocolate truffle cheesecake topped with whipped cream and cherries) at Piero's in Jonesboro AR
4) braised figs in sweetened rosewater at Marena's in Memphis
5) cherries jubilee at the Court of Two Sisters in New Orleans
6) poached brandied pear at Marena's Gerani (new owners) in Memphis
7) bananas foster at the steakhouse inside Fitzgerald's Casino in Tunica, MS
8) black marquis chocolate truffle cheesecake at a cake shop in the Riverwalk mall, New Orleans

The restaurant at one of the hotels in DC (the Four Seasons? Whichever one it is on Penn, about halfway between Georgetown and the Foggy Bottom metro) has a dessert that's three mini creme brulees: one vanilla, one chocolate, and one coffee. It's incredibly good.

Timelies all!
Welcome Isaac and congrats to the Burrell family!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'm like ita. I have a lot of favorites. Among them:
Bread pudding souffle with bourbon sauce at Commander's Palace
So frelling good. I've had this every time I've eaten there.
Bananas Foster at the Court of Two Sisters in New Orleans, where they flambe it, then dump it into vanilla ice cream. It's the world's best banana split.
And I like Boston creme pie a lot. The real kind. With the cake and gloop and stuff.

I just skipped those this year. I had some Passover cake, but I think I finished it. It was pretty gross, anyway -- came from the "the texture's going to be all wrong, so we'll cover it up by doubling the sugar" school of Passover baking.

Oh, I loved that. Okay, I loved all the food at the Court of Two Sisters, but the Bananas Foster was amazing.
I cannot pick a favorite dessert. However, I want lots and lots of any dessert, right now.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
My mamaw used to make Burnt Sugar Cake: [link] One of these days I have to try it myself.
I just had a handful of cajun-spiced pecans (that's pik-AHNs, dammit). Not dessert, but yummy nonetheless.
