Absolute Best Restaurant Dessert I've Ever Had!

[Sherri]

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.

Well the name itself made me drool, I too LOVE desserts..unfortuneately, it shows, :D

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!!!!!!

[simplyme]

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) :D

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.

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.

[Cindy]

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

[AmazingGrace]

Now yall got me a droolin and I gotta go have one of those gourmet hospital meals tonight yay!!! ROFL

[rapunzelgirl]

DH and I went on a "date" after church last night since we were both dressed up. We went to the Chop House and had key lime pie for dessert. It's so good...very tart with a (seems like) homemade graham cracker crust! Love me some key lime pie!

FYI: I had crabcakes for my meal...I didn't just go straight to dessert.

You know I have been in a healthy mood lately. I been hitting the gym for more than a month. Lost some weight, but have been gaining muscle at a good pace. In the mean time I have been looking at different diets. As Garfield said once in the cartoon strips, 'Diet is the word Die with a 't' at the end." Any how during my reseach I saw a list of several foods that help you lose belly fat. Here is the top 5, Drum roll......(5) oils (4) nuts and seeds (3) avocado (2) olives and the #1 answer is CHOCOLATE!!!! The study found on WebMD says that "eating one serving of any of these food at every meal will help reduce your accumulation of dangerous belly fat; control your calorie intake and you'll lose inches and pounds, too--especially around your waistline."

Chocolate is the 'miracle drug' in the fight against fat...who knew? Also it does go on to say that semi-sweet chocolate or dark chocolate are the best for this. Chocoholics eat way.

[Barb]

I hate the taste of maple and I do not like Key Lime Pie, but I absolutely LOVE chocolate! :bliss

I love maple anything...Tim Horton has a great Maple Glazed donut...whoa!!

But now chocolate...can't eat much because it gives me a headache.

[Monkeyman]

Oh wow, I love this thread. I need to take 3 more Metformins just reading it!!!

Fight fat with fatty foods! Makes a lot of sense. :koolaid J/K

All those things are high in calories so you can't eat much but they may take the urge to splurge away.

Amerigo's is Italian and (don't pay attention to what CC1 said), all we had was wonderful!! I had canelloni filled with chicken and spinach and Eddie had chicken marsala. Mine was best, of the entrees. The bread is a doughy foccacia with a crusty cheese top that you dip in olive oil with spices.

But I'm telling you.....it's worth the trip if you just went and got the dessert, if all the Amerigo's have the same menu, which I assume they do.

Glad your kids liked Whitestone! We love it there.

I agree that chocolate is the bomb, but for some reason this dessert surpassed it!!!!

We had left our car in Nashville at the airport, drove a big truck down to TX with Ashley's furniture in it, and flew back to Nashville. We went to a conference in TX while we were there, after unloading her stuff (for the zillionth time).

The Chop House in Murfreesboro?

[rapunzelgirl]

That's the one. We had a nice table in front of the fireplace. Only the second time we've eaten there, and it was good.

We spotted the new Amerigo's in Knoxville next to PF Chang's. Going to go there soon. We like any place with good bread that you can dip in olive oil!
We'll make room for dessert.

I know it is counter thinking, but that came from the health people at WebMD. I think that it has to come in certain meaurments. It gives examples of what you can eat from each group. From the Chocolate one is does say Semi-Sweet and Dark chocolate, it says have them anyway you want. Maybe a top a huge gooey brownie! Maybe not. :tantrum

[rapunzelgirl]

Do you live in M'boro?

Yep, born and raised here. I go to the DePriests' church.

[RandyWayne]

The best I ever had was a small creme brulee at Emeril's restaurant in Vegas.

[Sherri]

Yep, born and raised here. I go to the DePriests' church.
My son is at school at MTSU, but he's going to a Sun. night service at Allen Jackson's church (forgot the name). It's a huge church, but the Sunday night is small and more intimate! He likes the music and the preaching.

Please tell Phil Depriest that Eddie & Sherri Cupples said "hi". I would love for my son to visit there sometime, but I'm not sure I could convince him. I've heard it's a great church!

[Sherri]

[CC1]

Don't forget I live in Murfreesboro now so you need to PM me when your church has anything special going on. I will visit anything on an off night when I am not going to be at my church. I like singings, revivals, anything except footwashings!!!!! LOL!!

BTW - I have only eaten at the Chop House about three times but it was very good each time.

I graduated from MTSU, too. I hope your son enjoys living in "the Boro."

I've never visited WOC, but LOTS of people go there. It's a very beautiful facility from what I can see.

I don't think we have much coming up. I'll be sure to PM you if we do.

Oh, and we never have footwashings...thank God!

Allen Jackson's church makes Christ Church look like a Shockamoo church!!!

AJ is an excellent speaker though. Music was medicore and the congregation

was deader than any church I have ever been in including Roman Catholic mass!!!!

I loved their first time visitors gift though which was a jar of jelly with a nice ribbon on it and the label had a pic of the church and a welcome phrase, etc. I thought it was an excellent idea.

I visited under the impression it was a charismatic chuch but apparently it is not.

I am shocked! Even my Bapticostal Christ Church has a footwashing once a year or so.:gaga

[MrsMcD]

Do you still go to church with Stephen and Debby Summers?

[rapunzelgirl]

Do you still go to church with Stephen and Debby Summers?

Yes. They are getting ready to be AIMers to Malta, so they've been gone quite a bit doing some fundraising.

[MrsMcD]

Yes. They are getting ready to be AIMers to Malta, so they've been gone quite a bit doing some fundraising.

Awesome! Debby and I were good friends growing up. We have lost touch. If you think about it, tell her Karen from Georgia said Hi.

rapunzelgirl,

One of my favorie stories regarding the internet is how when Pianoman and I slipped int to Pastor Becton's church dedication that where we chose to sit just happened, out of 1,000 people there, to be next to you.

We were all on one of the predecessor forums to AFF together but had never met. I remember right after we sat down a couple of minutes late you leaned over and whisipered " are you CC1 and Pianoman"?". I almost jumped off my seat I was so surprised! LOL!!!

We had talked about going to that dedication together and since you knew our approximate ages it was just good detective work to figure out that these two guys had a pretty good chance of being us. However the coincidence that we sat next to a fewllow forum member out of all of those folks was astonishing.

Do you know that you added this to my post #32 above? I looked at it this morning and went "I didn't write that!!!". I freaked out a little. Renda went in and edited it out. I didn't even know that Admin. had the power to do that, and I'm sure you did it by accident, hitting Edit instead of Quote.

I have no way to judge Allen's church except through Zac. The Sunday night worship he says is really good, but there's only about 250 people there and it's pretty contemporary. He wouldn't like it if it was dead.

[Raven]

I know the Parker's who are missionaries to Malta. Your friends will be working with some great people. The owners of Whitestone are presenting a special conference for all missionaries and families on Malta this Fall.

That was pretty funny...and a very weird coincidence!

[Sherri]

Is this the Whitestone B&B in TN?
One & the same. But the conference on Malta is for all denominations, including but not limited to Pentecostals. We're involved in it as well - just by support, not by going, although we were invited. I would love to be there, just to serve those missionaries!

[Hesetmefree238]

I just got back from a business trip to Tempe, AZ. While in Tempe, we were carried
to a seafood and steak restaraunt called John Henry's. I had the New York Cheesecake
which was awesome.

[GodsBabyGirl]

Anything with brownie and fudge sauce with ice cream and whipped cream....ice cream sundae....

Just love it...and it loves me! : )

[Whole Hearted]

I am sorry but no restaurant desert can compare with my wife's deserts.

We ae having a family reunion Sat. and my wife is in charge of desert, they whole family thinks hers are the best.
