Someone brought in a sampler of desserts from Corner Bakery Cafe. While the cheesecake was a bit blah, the pecan pie bar was luscious. And as someone who has lived in Virginia and Texas, I’ve eaten my share of good and bad pecan pie. (Chocolate pecan pie? Overkill, and unnecessary.)
This was sweet without being cloying, and full of pecans. I’d have it again. Too bad, because I’m always relieved to find desserts I don’t like.
Another good dessert is the strawberry shortcake at Ford’s Filling Station, in Culver City, CA. I’d go there again for a glass of wine and dessert, but not for dinner. The entrees were okay, but too pricey for the quality of the meal and for the mediocre service.
