Motherlode


We went to a new restaurant with some co-workers tonight call Claim Jumper (Clam Juniper as Nick likes to call it). We decided tonight would be our one bad day for the week... We get one day to eat whatever we want per week for our wedding diet. We enjoyed the small plates of appetizers for the Happy hour and then decided to get some desert. The menu read...

"Chocolate Motherlode Cake...Super Moist Slice of our Six-Layer Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Chips, Fresh Walnuts and Chocolate Fudge Frosting" There was also a part about how it was on the food network for nations most decadent cake. We can get a slice to go we thought and split it. A few bites each and that would be the end of it. BOY were we wrong. I don't know how we missed the word MOTHERLODE. It was plainly written at the top of the menu. The cake was the size of a baby's torso. It was the largest slice of cake we had ever seen and equally delicious. We have 4 layers left and another week before we get a bad day. Clam Juniper is definitely not on the wedding diet.
