Here at DCF, we live (and love!) to travel for food. This piece is about one of the desserts that enthralled one of our contributors during her recent travels. It?s so good that this sweet is also on a list of Top Ten Desserts in America. – Lori
A recent trip to Key West in Florida led us to a most wondrous introduction: say hi to Kermit?s Key West Key Lime Shoppe?s Key Lime Pie on a Stick. (Woooh, that was a mouthful?and so was the pie!)

If you?re lucky, you might even spot its creator Kermit Carpenter on the nearby sidewalk, waving at passersby.

If all those delectable goods make you hungry for something more substantial, worry not. The original location is also home to Kermit?s Kitchen Cafe, where you can have your fill of snacks (e.g. salads, wraps, sandwiches, soup, chili, and fries), full entrees (e.g. BBQ ribs, fish and chips, pasta, and crab cakes), and all-day breakfasts in their cozy patio. If you ever find yourself on this side of Florida, make sure your trip includes a stop at this Key West institution (it?s been around for more than 20 years!), Kermit?s Key West Key Lime Shoppe is something you should certainly not pass up on.
