Happy Gnome, St. Paul, Minnesota


The Happy Gnome is a local pub and restaurant near the Summit/Grand Avenue areas of St. Paul. It is apparently among the 125 best places to have a beer before you die. It also has a great patio for summer days.


Presentation:
Served in a low round bowl atop a medium-sized plate. Garnished with a raspberry on top of the crust.

Crust:
Crust is thin and no evidence of charring.

Custard:
Custard is good and has a touch of banana flavor to it. A touch too liquidy/soft. Service slightly cool.

Overall Impression:
Classic creme brulee with banana flavor in the custard. Overall good, but nothing amazing.

Rating:
2/5

Great post! I’m looking to make some changes in my own eating habits and learning to cook, so I appreciate your insight a lot! Thank you. I recently stumbled upon this blog like I did yours and I thought your readers may appreciate it: http://burisonthecouch.wordpress.com/2010/11/04/food-for-thought/

I’ve started to look for blog help more regularly and I think I’m going to add your blog to my list as well. Thanks for the post!
