Welcome to DCDesserts

These are exciting times in DC as the city slowly starts developing the quality and number of culinary offerings expected of a metro area of its size and importance.  However, the restaurant renaissance hasn't improved desserts as much as it should have.  Dessert is an afterthought at many of the newer establishments that are otherwise top restaurants.  You don't have to do dessert well to be a top restaurant in DC.  Wayward reviewers too often confuse the lesser virtues of "nearby," "open late," or even "mixes sugar and fat with chocolate" with "excellent dessert."  DCDesserts is here to fix that.

DCDesserts' Bill and Josh believe dessert should be appreciated at least as much as other food and wine.  We're here to educate and serve the public; to help people distinguish the divine from the great, the good, and the poor; to promote the happiness that comes from dessert; and even to discuss the philosphy of dessert.

We'll share our favorite DC desserts and top dessert spots in a series of reviews.  We'll suggest where not to go, and what not to try.  We won't steer you wrong.  Finally, as Josh said, "the worst that can happen is that we eat a lot of brownies."
