I’ve already blogged about DBGB Kitchen and Bar, so I won’t bore you with a full review of my meal last night. In fact, I ordered the same dish -the salmon with gnocchi – as I did the first time I visited, and it was perfectly seared and delicious as I had remembered. And this time, we tasted the guanciale flat bread which was creamy, crispy, and delicious. But the reason I am writing today is to boast about the storm of desserts my table tasted – each totally rich and insanely delicious. For a table of 6, we thought, why not be conservative and share desserts? So what did we do? We decided to ordered 5 desserts for the table, with one being a dessert for two. Whoops!
Between the profiteroles, the blueberry cake, the baked Alaska, and the two peanut butter sundaes, my favorite, hands down was the peanut butter sundae, served with brownie bits and fresh whipped cream. Creamy peanut butter ice cream…nothing beats it!
More of a sight to be seen than a dessert to be eaten, the Baked Alaska was a crowd pleaser as it was lit in flames at the table, then served to us in perfectly cut slices. I’ve never had Baked Alaska, so I wanted to see what this novelty was all about. The verdict: I much prefer ice cream in scoop form and would rather my cake be accompanied by chocolate or vanilla, as opposed to pink and green sherbert. However, I must admit it’s a fun idea for a crowd.
Thanks DBGB for leading me into sugar oblivion last night, and leaving me with a food hang over early this morning!
