Absolute Best Restaurant Dessert I've Ever Had!

Sherri · #1 03-09-2008, 10:45 PM

Last night, Eddie and I split a dessert in a restaurant called Amerigo's in Nashville and it was the absolute best stuff I've ever tasted. And trust me, I am a dessert connoiseur! (Not sure I spelled that right, but I have tasted almost every kind of sweets available!).

The dessert is called a Butter Crunch Cake with a Granny Smith Apple Cinnamon glaze, served with Vanilla Ice Cream. The name does not even do it justice! It is one of those melt in your mouth things for which I would drive two hours to Nashville just to have dessert!

We asked and there is an Amerigo's in Nashville, Cool Springs, Memphis (woo-hoo!), Knoxville, Louisville, and Jackson, MS. If you ever get a chance to go, make sure to have this unbelievable dessert.

Yeah me too....I have been on Weight Watchers, but I totally blew it on this trip. I don't think you should diet on trips; it's my philosophy.
Unfortunately, we travel way more than we used to!!!!!!

Some of the best desserts add an automatic 5lbs just on the first bite, LOL!

I could eat JUST dessert if it cost too much to have dinner AND dessert, lol
If you're gonna blow the diet, and dessert itself has more calories than the meal, then I go for the dessert (with water & salad first, of course)

I believe it about the 'traveling' I had a friend who'd be doing good, but she traveled pretty often and she would ALWAYS "blow it", so she finally just gave up on dieting., once she even gave me her Jenny Craig foods, before leaving on a trip, LOL!!!
I tried one of them and it was YUCK so I chunked the rest.

I am also a dessert connoisseur [I looked it up] and I can be in Knoxville in 30 minutes.
What type of restaurant is Amerigo's?
Also, my daughter and son-in-law really enjoyed Whitestone while they were back here. We may have to check it out.

Sounds great! Did you ask for the recipe?

I have eaten at the Amerigos on West End three or four times but never had a dessert there that I can remember. It is a good thing the dessert is good because I have not been very impressed with the main courses there.

I don't doubt your word but I just can't see how any dessert can be the "best" when it doesn't involved chocolate.

By the way that dessert I had at your house was one of the best I have ever eaten!

Did Eddie preach somewhere in Nashville yesterday or were you here for the NRB convention?

Raven the last time I looked for you getting to Amerigos is on Papermill. If you are familiar with the old Grady's I think is in that old building right before you hit Kingston Pike. FYI. I will have to try in next time I am in town. Maybe we can grab a bite there.

I like anything with maple or chocolate. Or Key Lime Pie.
