Sotto Zero's Lady Gaga Maple Walnut Cake!
I indulge my children probably a little more than I should, so when my six year old daughter requested (read: demanded) a Lady Gaga maple walnut cake for her birthday, I was determined to get one.
But where? So, in proper 2011 social media fashion, I put the question to my Facebook friends.
Giorgio Klinar, owner of Sotto Zero in North Arlington came to the rescue. Giorgio created a 10” Maple Walnut and Vanilla Bean gelato cake filled with walnuts and caramel! It was divine!
Take a look at the pics.

I reached out to my favorite epicurean consigliere, Lou Palma, for a great barbeque sauce. Lou, an asian food enthusiast, shared his recipe for a versatile Korean barbeque sauce. Give it a try:
