Eating alone is tedious. After all, how long can you admire the art on a restaurant's walls, or stare at your own wine glass? But there is one major upside to dining solo: There's no need to share a single crumb of your dessert. So when you find yourself alone for the evening, head straight to Carmelita in Greenwood and slide your spoon into the Chocolate Muck Muck, a dark, rich sunken chocolate cake that's just the right amount of crusty on the outside and oozing with warm, gooey good stuff inside. A tangy compote of seasonal fruit -- right now, sweet-tart cranberries -- cleanses the palette for your next dive into the scrumptious muck. Suddenly, dining alone doesn't seem quite so bad after all.
