Second, I find it exceedingly problematic that a bakery could charge $18 for a mixed berry tart, especially in fabulous downtown River City as we approach the long, slow, unprofitable winter season. Yikes!
Third, to quote Steve's Food Rule #37: The cost of a dessert is usually inversely proportional to its flavor.
And so, the mere fact that I am including a dessert of any kind, especially an $18 dessert says something about how delicious this tart actually was. I will not offer the usual foodie BS about the balancing of the berries, the sweet glaze and the rich custard base or the nice flaky finish of the chocolate coated crust, blah blah boring. It was excellent, enough said.
Which leaves open the question of whether Blue Duck Bakery, 309 East Main Street, Riverhead, charging $18 for fruit tart can make it in the long run in fabulous downtown River City. We shall see, but if they manage to stay open, we'll be buying the fruit tarts, albeit, for special occasions not a weekend snack.
And so I bring you your food porn, Squawk the cat approved, photo:
