Amazing dessert restaurant run by the announcer for Food Network challenges. Not only are their desserts great, but their main courses are delicious also. Be prepared to wait if you go for dinner.

Amazing store that grinds their spices in small batches each week which makes for richer, stronger spices. Fun place to talk cooking or shop for a gift. I am a regular and can't recommend it enough!
