The Great Wall of Chocolate

On my birthday, Christie and I were lucky enough to go out to dinner with some friends at P.F. Changs. It's not somewhere we go often... one of our friends we dined with was actually surprised by my choice... but my main motivation for visiting was the dessert you can see in the picture below.

I'd read about it on the popular blog "eat this not that" that has spawned several books and other things. This was obviously in the "not that" category, but it was definitely worth it. Some of you know that I like cake and not frosting, and surprisingly this cake did not go overboard with the frosting. The sauce was a nice touch and more frosting probably would have taken away from that. In my own defense, I did not eat the whole thing myself. To see how bad it truely is, you can look at the following chart.
