  • MELLOW YELLOW: Banana cream pie from Letti’s

My North Little Rock readers have been on me for some time to try out the sweet delights over at Letti’s Cakes Etc. on JFK. It always seems like when I’m in the neighborhood I’ve just eaten, so I’ve had to pass.

I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me earlier to get something to go, ya know? So last week I did just that, running by during the lunch hour to pick up some cupcakes and pie.

I’ve heard rumors about how good that banana cream pie is. Now, I’m not much for banana cream, though I have delighted in the version offered at Chip’s Barbecue. Banana cream seems like it’s missing something, like chocolate and cherries and caramel sauce. Yeah, I guess when I eat a banana cream pie I’m wanting a banana split.
