Last night I stopped by Ten Penny, on the corner of Tenth and Penn (hence the name), in downtown Pittsburgh. Their pastry chef, Heidi is widely talented and I was in need for one of her signature desserts. I ordered the Ten Penny Chocolate Bar that is everything you ever dreamed of in a dessert stuffed into one hardened frozen chocolate bar of goodness. There is a layer of brownie, a layer of pretzel that crunches, vanilla bean creamy ice cream, and some peanut butter and chocolate to top it all off! Seriously, you will never find anything like this dessert. Stamped withe the TP logo and decorated with more decadent ice cream and candied peanuts, the presentation is flawless. It is a chocolate lovers dream and the perfect way to end the weekend, with a beautiful sweetness that we all crave on lazy Sundays.
Chef Heidi offers many more decedent desserts that are unparalleled in flavor, texture, and craft. I highly recommend stopping in if you're in NEED of the perfect dessert! The menu link describes Heidi's desserts but words cannot truly describe the bliss that will come over you when digging into a Ten Penny dessert by one amazing chef.

I chose the loaded nachos that come with pulled meat, cheese, tomatoes, jalepenos, and a dollop of cool sour cream on top. The chips are crunchy and have the cheese oozing all over them. You know the perfect nacho combination of just enough cheese and toppings that don't make the chip soggy? Well thats what this appetizer was all about, perfect balance in each bite. I chose the Cucumber Melon Splash drink to cool down on this hot sticky night. The light green drink is beautiful to look at and sweet and refreshing to sip.
