The Lime Part is Key
So I was watching the Food Network some time ago ... it was an episode on Florida, and all the secret places to go. I think it was Rachel Ray's "$40 a Day", actually. And they had a little bit on key limes and what they can make with it.
Then it suddenly dawned on me that I've never had key lime pie before. Ever in my life. I imagine it just tastes like creamy limes in a pie, but I wouldn't mind trying a good one. So last night, while dining with friends at Max's Opera Cafe -- where the waiters sing live while you dine, it's pretty cool -- I tried some.
It was alright. And I had a second opinion that it wasn't very good (since I didn't have much basis for this). So ... what's a decent/good place in the Bay Area to get some for my second key-lime tasting?

Forget the key lime pie. The chocolate eclair is where it's at.

CY, that damned chocolate eclair was as big as my head! It was HUGE, and with two of us, we didn't even finish it -- and that's a ONE-person serving??
It's an 8"-long-4"-wide puff pastry, overstuffed with vanilla and chocolate custard, then dipped in dark chocolate. It's pure carb fuel: perfect for the low-protein, high-carb, high-fat diets of today. I still have some in the fridge -- I'm hesitant to tackle it again.
Though I could really go for a moist carrot cake right now.
