63. 'Chicken' for dessert

Graham Summers says...

This is a meringue, shaped like a hen, filled with luscious ice cream and sitting atop a nest of brittle sugar “straw,” whipped cream, and a pool of caramel syrup. It was extraordinary. The combination of textures and tastes was beyond anything my wife or I had seen in a dessert. Adding to this explosion of flavors was the fun of eating “chicken” as a dessert food and this was possibly the most memorable dessert of our lives. Indeed, this was more than just a dessert, it was a marketing tool for the restaurant as a whole: as soon as our order came out, every table around us ordered one too. By the time we left, I counted six other tables having “chicken” for dessert. In plain terms, we ordered a dessert, but Chef Richard delivered an “experience.” My wife and I laughed and shared many delightful moments as we butchered our “chicken.” Because of this, I didn’t care that the dessert cost $12. In fact, I probably would have paid $17 or more for it and not even batted an eye.
