Located in the heart of The
 Pinch
district, Westy's is home to one of the most
famous delicacies in town: The Hot Fudge
Pie.
Jake Schorr, co-owner of Westy's, invented
the dessert back in the early 70's at
another restaurant he owned at the time,
Jefferson Square. It was a big hit, and he
carried the recipe with him on to his next
restaurant The North End - a place I went to
many, many times - just for the pie. And now
it's available at Westy's.
It's rich and dark and soft in the middle -
not quite the consistency of pie, but not
cakey either, it's a perfect marriage of
both and served with French Vanilla ice
cream, fudge sauce and whipped topping. I
cannot describe how yummy it is.
I also like all the wild rice dishes at
Westy's. You can get it smothered in
mushrooms, grilled chicken, bacon, cheese
and all sorts of other options. Their
sandwiches are good as well.
Another nice perk is that they are open til
3 am. So if you've been hitting the downtown
scene all night and are looking for a little
late night snack that doesn't come from a
fast food drive in, then Westy's is your
place.
Be sure and get the pie though!. |
