It's alive!

My only two regrets from visiting the Mill Avenue My Big Fat Greek Restaurant and ordering this custard piled high with vanilla ice cream and caramel? That I didn't get a photo of dude setting this dish (and almost himself) on fire with flambed brandy, and that I'm not cool enough to pronounce "Galaktobouriko."

But other than that, everything else was chill. Well, actually, hot as you can see by the bubbling goodness covering the plate. I ate this beast by myself on an empty stomach and couldn't even think about food for the next six hours, so be sure to enjoy this with a friend or five.
