[…] I will say this: there are at least two local restaurants that serve really good coffee. The first is Tidewater. Theirs is a nice, dark-roasted brew that may even contain a touch of chicory a la the Café du Monde. The other is Bluegrass Kitchen. They opt for a shade-grown, fair-traded organic bean in both regular and cinnamon-enhanced varieties. The cinnamon coffee is especially good with a slice of Keeley Lime Pie. […]

Arrgghh. I’m generally not a “sweet-eater”, but more of a “a second helping of the main course” type. However, if out at a good restaurant, have developed a relationship based on trust with the waiter or waitress, and the assure me that there is “really wonderful Key Lime Pie” waiting for me in the kitchen, I will break with routine. Bluegrass need not prep more than it’s usual store of the entrees on my account…just more of the Keeley Lime Pie.

Brooke, Calvin Trillin and you might have parallel paths. Good writin’. It’s a quarter to twelve and I am hungerin’, for pie and more blog-filled soup.

Peace,

Jeffrey, I beg of you…if you slap your mother in the teeth (and this pie could certainly cause such a reaction), at least reward her pain with a slice of pie. Just be sure to duck, bob or weave after she takes a bite.

I have to agree with Brooke. I am quite the connoisseur of Key Lime Pie. I have traveled all over southern Florida and have tasted Key lime Pie at every eatery I could find. Keeley Lime Pie is as good as you can get. It even rivals the pies in Key West.

I’ve long searched for the perfect slice of key lime goodness. When I’ve ordered it in the past, I’m often disappointed when the confection proves to be all sweetness and no bite. I’m intrigued by Brooke’s description of the sweet-to-sour ratio of this pie and will stop in to try a slice next time I’m in town. I’m looking forward to your next review!

Nobody knows deserts better than Brooke ! After reading his review, I’ll be gassing up the car and driving to the Bluegrass Kitchen for some pie. Hard to find that perfect combo of sweet & sour. In Brooke’s taste buds I trust.

keep the reviews coming, love reading BB’s take on the world of food.

You know…I’ve never tried the Keeley Lime Pie at Bluegrass Kitchen. After an order of Artic Char on top of a Bruchetta and cleaning up the plate of my wifey who has a problem with her eye-to-stomach ratio, I’m done for the day. But, with proper planning, and prompted by Brooke’s epicurial eloquence, I will have my pie on the next visit. Thanks for the article. Your prose is not only a pleasure to read, but inspires action.
