Desserts ($7), like the rest of the menu, remained simple but delightful. We tried the panna cotta, which was basically a flan sans the traditional burnt caramel flavor. The light vanilla pudding was garnished with thinly sliced marinated strawberries that added an extra tart to the strong vanilla flavor. The chocolate-amaretto torta played up the second half of its name and was complemented by rich swirls of chocolate and caramel sauce. The pastry at Centro was amazingly fluffy and offered a counterbalance to the more substantial main courses...
...young pet lizard, Bobby Baker. Senator Johnson would snap his fingers softly, and I would hustle to the cooler in the Democratic cloakroom to bring him a glass of White Rock sparkling water or dash down the marble back stairs to the Senate restaurant to fetch a dish of vanilla ice cream, which he ate at his desk on the Senate floor as he played his mighty legislative Wurlitzer...
...Pepsi tries to do the same thing from the top down, leveraging its deal with the league. Coke has hardly been sitting on its thumbs. Last year it brought out Diet Coke with lemon, which has done reasonably well, and the company is now gearing up to launch Vanilla Coke.

Instead, the two interacted warmly when they met before their slug fest.

If the show expands into a series, it should be a great way to keep former sitcom stars busy between reunion shows...

No one should leave the city without sampling at least two specialties: rétes, a strudel filled with apples or black cherries, and dobostorta, a cake generously layered with a custard of egg yolks, sugar, chocolate and vanilla and then covered with caramelized sugar. Fortunately, the city has numerous cafés ranging from simple to palatial. One worth a visit is the Gerbeaud Cukraszda on Vörösmarty Square. Its opulent decor of brocade wall coverings, wood paneling and crystal chandeliers hanging from vaulted ceilings...
