By Word of Mouth Bakery and Restaurant

There are a few well kept food secrets in South Florida. By Word of Mouth is certainly one of them. Their menu is devine and only topped by their desserts. We picked up the Savana Banana Pie for my Grandmother's birthday last week. The description does not do it justice: Amaretto cookie crust brushed with chocolate truffle ganache. Layers of bananas in caramel, topped with whipped cream and dusted with crushed English Toffee. It is the perfect pie! I highly recommend it.

The Guinea Pub in Mayfair London

I just found this Web site: http://www.theguinea.co.uk. I ate there years ago. I was my first experience with a Steak and Mushroom Pie. It made some impression, because if I ever made it back to London, I would go out of my way just to get that pie again.

The restaurant was quaint and a bit on the elegant side as I remember versus some of the other places we visited. I would highly recommend it! Plus they won the Steak Pie of the Century Award!
