Number 60: Cake and shake from D Bar Desserts
The only thing better than chocolate cake and milk is chocolate cake and a milkshake. Keegan Gerhard of D Bar Desserts has made this indulgent double treat a favorite among dessert-goers. The cake is a super-moist, dense creation spread with a fudgy frosting made with Manjari chocolate. It’s all about the little touches: The milkshake, which is made with housemade ice cream, comes topped with crunchy Valrhona chocolate pearls. D Bar has a non-dessert menu, too, but with the generously portioned cake and shake’s allure, it’s easy to convince yourself the sugar bomb is a suitable meal stand-in.
