Temptation Tuesday: Max Brenner

We have all been really busy lately; midterms, studying, and late hours at work have been interfering with our rest and relaxation(bumming on the couch.) So whenever we have had a free moment, our minds have gone straight to Temptation Tuesday. Max Brenner was an obvious choice for our first official Tuesday, since the restaurant is mostly known for their amazing desserts. It didn't hurt that it's only a short walk away (less than 10 minutes), which meant we could burn some calories on the walk home... And we knew there would be plenty of calories for us to burn after this Temptation Tuesday. We made reservations for 9:00, and it was a good thing we did since it was pretty crowded; crowded AND classy in comparison with some of the other East Village spots we've been frequenting. It was a smart move that we made ourselves semi presentable or we would have looked like 3 college girls headed to the meal plan paid buffet.

We pretty much ripped through the menu and decided we wanted everything. However, after much discussion, we decided splitting two desserts would just have to suffice so we wouldn't break the bank or our stomachs. Our first choice was The Euphoria Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge Sundae, which was a sundae filled with peanut butter and dolche de leche ice cream, caramelized toffee bananas, chocolate chunks, milk chocolate and peanut butter sauce, and covered in whipped cream and hazelnuts bits. On the side, they even included extra chocolate sauce and peanut butter sauce for those who didn't get enough calories in the sundae. Our second dessert choice was the Chocolate Chunks Pizza, with "the works", hazelnuts, marshmallows, peanut butter, and bananas. We obviously killed both desserts...shocker. Bottom line: Soooo amazing, but don't come here on a first date, second date, or third, unless your a supermodel or bulimic, or if your the first person trying to make chocolate and banana all over your face sexy.

Calorie Count-No where to find calories. So basically we consumed more than we should have in an entire day on two desserts.
