The key lime pie at Vinegar Hill House is possibly the most balanced and delicious I’ve ever tasted. The crust is thin and flaky; the lime curd smooth and creamy but neither heavy nor too sweet or tart; and the whipped cream light and fluffy. The three components are definitely best in each of their classes, and together they make the perfect key lime pie.
