Best Cities for Sweet Tooths in America 2015

The Texas metropolis scored big points with voters for its genre-spanning cuisine, like the dry-rubbed barbecue, big burgers and urbane gourmet markets. The common denominator, though, may be decadence, exemplified in the varied local interpretations of pecan pie. You can try the deep-dish chocolate fudge version at Three Brothers Bakery, or the Bayou Goo (a pecan crust with a layer of sweet cream cheese, custard and chocolate chunks) at 24-hour diner House of Pies. To cleanse your palate with some brisket, go to longtime barbecue favorite Goode Co., which is also famous for its Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie.
