As part of our Second Annual Awesome Lists Issue, we, well, I, chose 11 of my favorite desserts from local restaurants. So what'd I miss?
11 Absolutely Lovely Desserts Served Only In Knoxville
1. Chef Chester Miller's "Grandmother's Chocolate Cake" served at Bistro By the Tracks--nearly flourless, with raspberry puree and toasted pistachios
2. A store-made warm apple fritter a la mode (Edy's ice cream) from Dippin Donuts in Bearden
3. Sequoyah Grille's house-made Creme Brulee with its warm crackling sugar crust
4. Fresh fruit pineapple sorbetto from Coolato Gelato--decadent, sure, but half the fat and calories of ice cream
5. Savelli's Bananas Foster bread pudding
6. Buddy's BBQ Lemon Ice Box pie developed by Buddy Smothers' wife LaMuriel
7. Chesapeake's Slower Delaware Pie--Mayfield's coffee ice cream and Kahlua liqueur chocolate cookie crust, hot fudge sauce, toasted pecans and chantilly cream
8. Nutella and strawberry authentic "street food-style French" crepe from the French Market
9. Chocolate malt from Kay's Ice Cream
10. Apple crisp from Aubrey's restaurant
11. Burrito Cheesecake from Soccer Taco--calories be damned with this flour tortilla filled with cheesecake, deep fried, and served with ice cream, chocolate sauce and whipped cream
