Wow! What a list! This'll take me a while to go thru. Thanks to everyone that contributed.

A little OT, but I thought you'd appreciate this one. When I was at Charlie Trotters (as I mentioned in the OP) it was a surprise for my 35th birthday. I was with 7 others, including my wife. And the bill was going to be a stretch for us at that time. To make a long story short, my wife tells the waiter that she'd like everyone to try all the desserts. Imagine our surprise (and the looks from everyone seated near us) when the staff brings out 1 of EACH dessert for everyone! If I remember correctly, there were something like 5 or 6 choices X 8 people!! There were trays and plates everywhere. When my wife got the bill, the desserts alone came to close to $300 or so. She almost choked. Now we can laugh about it, but then it was a matter of national debt!
