Chillin' With Homey

I liked the flaky crust and pudding-like texture of the buttermilk pie, not to mention the pool of caramel sauce surrounding it. The warm chocolate torte, served with extra-creamy vanilla bean gelato, had the fudgy intensity of a brownie, with a fluffier crumb. And Jack Daniel's whiskey lime sauce was a great foil for the buttery, vanilla-scented croissant bread pudding.

Light, summery fare this ain't. And, boy, what a relief.
