Why you should do what you know best...and leave the rest to others

I had never had baked eggplant before, so I was really surprised at how good it was at Coal Vines.  I've been for pizza before (they have huge pizzas and it's the only place I like thin-er crust pizza).

The desserts, however, well...let's just say I would have been happier with just a single swedish fish. 

So the lesser of all the dessert evils was the cheesecake...it was better than homemade, but not as good as the cheesecake factory.  Too big of a gap?  How about, on par with the grocery store stuff, but no where near as good as the frozen cheesecake factory from Costco. 

Next comes the ice cream...but doesn't even compare to bluebell or refrigerated twix bar.

And last but not least, tiramisu.  I judge how good a tiramisu is by my unscientific question of, "after I eat this, will it convert me to actually like tiramisu?"  And after eating Coal Vine's tiramisu...no, I still do not like tiramisu.
