On my trip to the East Coast, I ventured to a place called Giacomo's in Boston, MA. The food was excellent and I assumed the desserts would be as well. I ordered the Chocolate Truffle Bomb, but sadly not really the bomb. Why? It was a chocolate cake caved in on top by thick ganache. The cake was okay, the ganache could have been smoother and silkier, and it needed something crunchy. It would have also been more creative with multiple layers of different flavors rather than a solid mass of cake. Conclusion: if you are going to add bomb to your title make sure the dessert lives up to it.
