Where I Go Out

"Käsekuchen: Creamy Quark Cheesecake, Crostata Crust & Cranberry Kirsch Sauce. Our dessert menu at Proof is shaping up nicely for the season! Each dessert represents a global, yet curated dish that includes some type of “proof” in it [Kirsch in the sauce!] & this dish pairs extremely well with a Brachetto D’Acqui. It’s been fun to have the talented @#ladychef"
