Daily Delish – Vegiterranean takes the cake! (Literally and figuratively ;) )
Categories:
Ever since the Mister and I last went to VegiTerranean, we’ve been looking for an excuse to go back. We knew that taking a detour from one of our Christmas adventures (don’t worry, I’m sharing tomorrow!) would be the perfect opportunity. After reading about VeggieGirl’s latest experience, I knew better than to try and plan my meal from the restaurant’s online menu. The Mister and I figured we’d just go with what sounded delicious. We started with “Whole Grilled Artichokes served with Lemon Caper and Roasted Red Pepper dipping sauces & grated Rawmesan.” Don’t worry, it tasted as good as it sounded.
Grilled artichokes with dipping sauce
The sauces were incredible! I still can’t decide which one I preferred – so delicious — I may attempt making one at home. The Roasted Red Pepper sauce tasted a bit like my Harissa sauce! We also shared some bread and rosemary infused olive oil. Of course when I say ‘share’ I mean that I hogged the entire plate. Come on! There were only three tiny morsels! Good thing the Mister isn’t a bread head.
For our entree. we decided to split a pizza. Our server recommended “Chrissie’s Choice,” which included wild mushrooms and the restaurant’s famous basil pesto. Hey, if it is good enough for Chrissie Hynde, it’s good enough for me 
"Chrissie's Choice" pizza - Mushrooms with special pesto blend and soy mozzarella cheese
This was AMAZING! The crust was phenomenal and the Mister and I agreed that the pesto was nothing short of mouthwatering. It was also the perfect size for sharing! And the perfect size for making sure I had room for dessert Originally I had thought that I could pay a visit to Rita’s for a delicious pumpkin concoction, but after making a VERY SMART phone call, I quickly realized they were closed for the winter. Can you imagine how upset I would have been if I turned down VegiTerranean dessert, only to find out that Rita’s was closed? Yeah, I’ll pat myself on the back for thinking to make the phone call. Anyway, I asked the server for his recommendation (since he steered me the right way regarding the ZA!) and he told me that if I was a carrot cake fan, to without a doubt order the carrot cake. Say no more, my friend — bring on the icing! Behold.
Sweet Jesus.
Let me just say that I was still talking about this slice of heaven roughly one hour after the fact. At one point, I think the Mister had to remind me that he no longer cared how much I liked the cake. This cake was so incredibly moist and the spiciness was spot on! The buttercream frosting was to.die.for. Honestly — I have no words. Think of the best cake you’ve ever eaten. Now multiply it by ten. RUN, do not walk, to VegiTerranean while they are still serving this amazingness. I’m not even sure something this good should be legal. In fact, I’m convinced the baker laced my icing with crack.
I’m suing VegiTerranean. They can pay me in carrot cake.
You tell me — what was the best dessert you’ve ever had and where was it from?
