Chocolate Chess, Angus Barn Restaurant

Raleigh, North Carolina

The Angus Barn turns 50 in 2010, and while the Raleigh restaurant is better known for steaks than desserts, its chocolate chess pie is one of the South’s best. Made with semi-sweet chocolate, the pie is creamy and smooth without being too sweet. The Barn folks are so proud of their chocolate chess that they put its recipe on their web site.
