KW Bike & Bite: BTS

Famous Key West dessert restaurant: Better Than Sex.

A lot of intriguing options on the menu… We chose the signature chocolate cherry bread pudding and the banana layer torte. They also offer wine and beer with chocolate or caramel dipped glasses, but we opted for decaf coffee.

The bananas seemed underripe and they very nicely replaced the pictured dessert with a freshly layered concoction that was perfectly balanced. Tasty.

The chocolate was rich and delicious, and the pumpernickel, which we feared, was actually a nice subtle flavor.

PS on the blue angels…  The night before the airshow we biked to the animal shelter fundraiser.  There are bike paths almost the entire way, but at one point the bike path crosses Route 1 where it enters Key West and there is no traffic light.  Bikers have to fend for themselves and time the crossing carefully because the stream of traffic is pretty constant and the cars rarely stop for bikers.  I am happy to report that after about 15 cars passed us, a minivan stopped to let us cross, and inside that minivan were the blue angel pilots!  In uniform!  U.S.A.!!!
