1.   And just recently, I had the urge to revisit the tantalizing traditional French dessert cart.

2.   It will serve French desserts and no cheap buffet lunch.

3.   Replacing the corn syrup or molasses with brown sugar makes it less gooey, and chopping the pecans allows the texture to approach the fineness of a French dessert.

4.   The final event of the week will be a French chocolate dessert contest at the Ritz-Carlton.

5.   This is not a fancy French dessert, though it would be an easier sell if it were.

6.   They would not shock Careme, the patron saint of French desserts, but they would awe the most diehard aficionado of death by chocolate.
