4. Key Lime Pie at Madisons
Post reviewer Carlos Frias raved about this American pie earlier this year: “The buttery filling is velvety smooth, subtle, without the tartness to pucker your face … Cut down deep enough through the two-inch-thick pie to reach a crust made of homemade graham crackers and crushed caramelized pecans. The crust alone could be served as a menu item. The chef tops that perfect crust with homemade whipped cream and carefully drizzles it with a lime coulis, a tangy sauce made from pureed and strained key limes.”
