Who said desserts should be eaten last?


Yummy.

San Diego is one of my fave cities, not only because it's a hip place to be for a twenty-something-year-old, but because one can indulge in a fancy piece of pie without feeling like a fat ass. As you can see from the pics above and below, these sinfully delicious creations are more like works of art, and it would be a crime not to eat them. Extraordinary Desserts can be found in 2 locations in San Diego, Little Italy and Balboa Park. My fave is in Little Italy because it has a Japanese/modern/chic appeal and it has a large swinging door the size of my office. Hey, appearance is everything and I can definitely say this restaurant has the best of both worlds. The deserts are to die for, and the ambiance is sultry. All the creations at Extraordinary Desserts are made from organic ingredients and decorated with fresh-cut flowers. The chefs are professionals who were trained at Cordon Bleu, and the creator of the establishment traveled around the world in order to gather ideas and exotic foods. The result is an exotic array of culinary art.

The following is a link to the menu. My personal favorites are the vanilla bean creme brulee and this apple empenada thingy that is paired nicely with a hot cup of Chai.
