Yesterday I decided it was time to introduce another friend to one of my favorite restaurants in the East valley. We went to the Tempe location which is a lot farther away from home than the Mesa location. But that doesn't matter because the drive is always worth it. I like this location because it is the original.
This time I decided to skip the appetizer to save room for dessert. I still had the usual very large Hoegaarden to start and ordered the very new and not on the menu "Spicy BBQ Chicken Pasty". Anything with spicy and BBQ deserves a shot and it was delicious.
The chicken was tender and juicy, the BBQ sauce had some kick to it, the jalapeƱo and grilled onions were a great touch. I am not sure yet if this may be a new favorite but if it weren't, it would be a close second. Only one thing could make this night more perfect....well....maybe two things but I will settle for the Banoffee pie.
It has been a while since I had the Banoffee pie and I don't know why. Who doesn't love graham cracker crust, homemade caramel, bananas and fresh whipped cream? With every spoon full you get everything, the crust is incredible, the caramel is sweet, the whipped cream is delicious and the bananas are perfect. I was only able to eat half of it so I brought the other half home with me.
Another perfect meal from a great place to eat, drink and be satisfied....anywho. I know it's 7 am but I am heading to the refrigerator for the other half of my Banoffee pie.
