I'm not anti creme brule. I love it. I often get it. But I've never really had a bad one... Maybe it's because few places offer it, but the ones that do offer it are very consistent and very similar. (to me)
Tiramisu is actually my favorite dessert. Tiramisu is much easier to screw up, or make in such a way that some people don't like it. Trader Joe's has good frozen tiramisu. (They have several... don't buy the one that is in plastic half container)
