For the readers who are a bit lost at this point, let me explain what all these foreign terms mean. Starting off with the cutest of the bunch, petite fours are available around the country and the globe at many bakeries and tea rooms, but they seem to be a staple of the pastry world in this city.

King Cake is the most famous of the three previously mentioned desserts. It is a cake traditionally eaten during Carnival season and tastes something along the lines of a more bread like Cinnabun. Doberge is a layered cake, with pudding stuffed in between each layer of cake. This New Orleans classic dessert ordinarily comes in chocolate or lemon, but Gamino's also makes a similar square with red velvet cake. They also serve up brownie squares such as the caramel and chocolate loaded brownie pictured below.

Of course, I have already written extensively about Mackenzie's role in my culinary journeys, but Eric's only cameo was in the fertilized duck egg post. Contrary to how disgusting balut actually was, he usually has pretty good taste and is filled with great ideas of where to get rare and interesting cuisine. So between the two of us, we come up with some pretty epic dates.
