So, are you the type who often skips the entrees and asks to see the dessert menu when you walk into a restaurant?

Or do you say to yourself, "I'm stuffed and can't possibly look at the dessert tray," and then you find yourself asking for multiple spoons so everyone at the table can sample at least one!

Today (Feb. 4, 2016) we announce our next search -- the search for Michigan's Best Dessert.

We are looking for Michigan-based restaurants that offer a decadent, creative and memorable dessert.

As with all of our Michigan's Best searches, you can make nominations in the comments section below.

Or via email: gonzo@mlive.com.

Once we have the nominations, we will ask for a public vote.

And once we have a list of poll winners, we'll add other finalists and hit the road.

The dates look like this:

Feb. 4-8: Call Out for Nominations

Feb. 9-11: Vote in Local Polls

Feb. 12-21: Local Visits

Feb. 25: Top 10 List announced

John "Gonzo" is now looking for Michigan's Best Dessert! We're taking nominations now.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR: We want desserts that are so good that you dream about them at night! Or are at least they're topic of conversation on your Facebook feed.

The field is wide open.

It can be a decadent carrot cake at Lucky's Steakhouse in Bay City, which I had on our search for Michigan's Best Steakhouse.

Or the mouthwatering good cheesecake balls at Zoobie's Old Town Tavern in Lansing, a popular watering hole that was on our search for Michigan's Best Neighborhood Bar.

I even enjoyed an Apple Tart with homemade ice cream recently at the new Wolfgang Puck's in downtown Grand Rapids. And a macadamia nut cookie skillet at the Forest Hills Inn in Cascade.

See, I've been doing my research!
