When family meal turns to family day...

As any restaurant employee knows, one of the best times at work is family meal. Usually at 4 pm, this is quite possibly the only time when the rivaling front and back of house get together and enjoy a quick bite.

This weekend, we had a family day with Pili group. It all started at MW restaurant for their "steak and shake" Sunday. A vast amount of burgers, fries, adult milkshakes and Sunday fun day add ons. There were about 10 of us there to revel in the festivities of stuffing our gullets with delicious grilled meat and mountains of ice cream. 

I even got offered gooch's cherry;) ⬇️

Once the parade of meat came, it was time for dessert and what a platter that was. Imagine back to our tester years when doughnuts were the size of our faces and we needed two hands to drink our juice. This massively incredible mountain of ice cream appeared at our table to our delightful surprise. It reminded me of a dessert food pyramid. 

It all started on a choux shell about 13" diameter. To follow was a large serving of brownie squares, cookie, strawberries and bananas. This was delicately smothered with four different scoops of ice cream ranging from vanilla to coffee. And of course, the grand finale of whipped cream, syrup, nuts and a bright cherry completed the dessert pyramid. Just... Wow.
