Anyone can serve a sweet dessert.
Anyone can serve a tart dessert.
Anyone can serve a rich dessert.
But a savory dessert?
That’s a completely different story (/dessert).
And it’s one we’re exploring here, with some inspiring words and hunger-inducing pictures dedicated to six of the most decadent desserts of that particular nature this country has to offer.
Hoped you saved some room...
Our journey begins in Chicago, where a very talented chef has managed to create a milk chocolate

Smyth, Chicago
From the same fine city: rye bread pudding with quince sorbet and puffed cereals. She’s a
looker.
Elske, Chicago
This is a pear Danish tatin with farmer’s cheese and wine-soaked figs. We’ll give you a moment

Park Avenue, New York
Us: “Here’s a tahini semifreddo with miso caramel and gingersnap cookies from
a Williamsburg eatery.”
You: “Classic Williamsburg eatery... but yum.”
Rider, Brooklyn
Right now, you’re looking at a tropical white-chocolate-and-avocado-based dessert. Someday, you
could be eating it.
Element 47, Aspen
This strawberry-jalapeño bear claw is spicy, savory and the most important meal of the day.
