ABC Kitchen

ABC Kitchen

On the menu it’s called the “Sundae,” it should be called “Brilliance in a Bowl.”  Walk if not run to ABC Kitchen for dessert, their entire dessert menu perhaps.  I sat at the bar in disbelief!  How could I choose??  The “sundae”, chocolate cake with marshmallow frosting, vanilla chip ice cream cake, cobbler, pie……STOP IT RIGHT NOW!  HOW IS A GIRL SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE!

I don’t know about you, but I have always wanted to pick the brain of a real pastry chef in New York City.  I always wondered, “What’s their dessert life outside of the restaurant?  Do they like Oreos dunked in milk like the rest of the cookie eating world?!”  When Kimberly agreed to a JustDesserts Q&A, Read More »
