Antoine's dessert menu includes an inordinate number of what amount to sundaes--ice cream sprinkled with nuts and flooded with chocolate sauce, with a few other wrinkles. One of these is the classic French dessert (created by no less than Escoffier!) peach Melba. ("Peche Melba" on Antoine's Francophone menu.) It's a slice of pound cake topped with a ball of vanilla ice cream, then sliced peaches, then a raspberry puree. Dame Nellie Melba herself would like it, I think. I know I do. Antoines-PecheMelba
