And a One-Two Punch for the Count...

With a bing and a pow, Jen is introducing her second new knockout in 4 days. On Saturday, she sent the highly acclaimed (and her favorite dessert), the Coffee Vacherin, to pasture. In its place, Jen unveiled the Fig Almond Tart with Mascarpone Sorbet. According to Jeff McClure's Yelp friend, the dessert has been received well. Time will tell if this tart will also win Jen's approval as her favorite item on the menu. Tonight, she will present a Chocolate Semifreddo with Brownie and Orange Pistachio Biscotti. Unfortunately, with a new chocolate dish means the parting of the old chocolate favorite, say good-bye to the warm chocolate cake.
