so, we figured out why the lines snaked out the door and down the street in front of french broad chocolate lounge. the desserts are world class, pure and simple. the key lime cheesecake with the ginger crust was scrumptious, i had never experienced the taste explosion that i had with the costa rican chocolate ice cream, and the truffles were sinfully wonderful. i don't know how anyone could show any restraint at french broad chocolate lounge with all the tasty and delectable desserts they have to offer. we were scared to go back in the mornings for coffee and espresso because we knew we'd go overboard on the desserts. our visit there was truly one of the highlights of our trip to asheville.
