normally i do not order desert, but when my mom said we HAD to get the mud pie at gibsons in chicago, i nodded my head. after all, chicago is the mecca for over the top, fattening foods that are unavailable to me in los angeles. so why not. the more i think about eating it, the more the guilt sinks into my soul and i have to quickly make myself start thinking about something else. but let me tell you, it was worth the estimated 1,000 calories per serving. the crunchy gram cracker crust was pretty grainy and course, which complimented the soft vanilla ice cream. the hug slice was also topped with chocolate sauce and whole macadamia nuts. every bite was worth it, and it was hands down, the best desert i have ever eaten.
