(This venue is closed.) The last slice of peach pie looked wonderful, too, but it wouldn't have traveled as well.
Technically, it might have been a tart; mainly what I remember is the fresh fruit, not just on top but also hanging off the sides. More portable: this pecan sticky bun ($3), which had the good grace to enfold some pecan stickiness inside the bun and cradle the rest in cupcake paper. There was just no getting away, though, without a few licked fingers.
