Crisp Banana Cheesecake Bunuelos at Happy Ending Bar and Restaurant

 "Crisp Banana Cheesecake 'Bunuelos' with Caramel Sauce and Fresh Bananas, Ala Mode!" states the menu.  A DD-say-What? Wow, let's order the thing and break it down!

Hmm, ok, what we've got here is warm cheesecake in a fried pocket of cinnamon-sugar dusted dough, caramelized bananas on the side, a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, and a side of whipped-cream, all on top of caramel drizzle. Woo!  That's a mouthful, literally! While this might look thrilling, I think there's a lot of song and dance here with not so much substance.  It's all just Too Much.  I'm a quality over quantity gal. I'd rather have one fabulous cheesecake than all this hoopla. Instead, the cheesecake was ordinary and overshadowed by it's fried encasing, the bananas were good, but not extraordinary, and the ice-cream was yummy, because let's face it, ice-cream is yummy.  Ultimately, the cookies that we also ordered were superior to this large and overly-complicated dish.
