Hats off to Chef Porter of the fabulous Italian restaurant Cecconi's! Thanks to him I experienced an incredible trio of desserts at a friend's birthday last night.
Most exquisite of the the offerings was the:
Flourless Chocolate Cake, so cool and creamy my friend claimed, "It's smoother than George Clooney hitting on a cocktail waitress."
EGSactly. That's exactly how to describe this slab of deliciousness. Mmm, I swoon just thinking about it. If you need a chocolate fix, I urge you to visit this fine establishment. At $9 a slice, it doesn't come cheap, but for the George Clooney experience, it's well worth every penny.
Additionally, I enjoyed:
Summer Berries Pannacotta, lovely chilled, creamy custard with plump berries, and fresh mint garnish.
Peach Gelee (special of the night) This gelatinous delicacy was made with fresh peaches and Italian sparkling wine for an alcoholic kick that was tempered by home-made peach gelato.
Bravo!

I have had this CAKE and I have eaten every single bite of it - it is so tasty. And totally off subject, try there meatballs. x
