Caribbean Pie Company

Cuban Divorce Soup
Southwestern Panino
Key Lime Pie
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream Pie

Today our Protagonist decided to take up the challenge of the best Key Lime Pie in town.  Unfortunately, the particular variety he was looking for was out, today.  But before we come to that, we must explore the rest of his lunch.  The Cuban Divorce (the opposite of Mexican Wedding, apparently), a hearty white bean and shredded pork soup,  was nicely seasoned, the white beans still slightly firm to the bite.  The Southwestern Panino called to our Protagonist with its spicy guacamole aioli, but it could have used more kick.  He felt it was slightly "gringo-fied" in it's southwestern-ness; a pandering, if you will, to Yankee tastes that can't abide spices.  Our Protagonist, being a hedonist at heart, prefers to be overwhelmed by spices rather than underwhelmed.  Well, within reason of course.  And now we come to the main event; Key Lime pie samples abounded, and were very creamy, with a lovely consistency to the graham cracker crust which just crumbled to the touch.  His dining companion thought the chocolate peanut butter cream pie was just as good as Dutch Heritage.  Of course, with Yoder's being the locally accepted pie standard, we wonder how it would stand up in a taste test.  A return visit to sample more Key Lime Pie must be in order to better round out the survey, although this particular experience did prove most promising.
