I mean, I've definitely seen lemon done badly. There's an excellent bakery in my old neighourhood that I love and go back to whenever I can. However, they do a lemon brulee tart that seems like it would be great in concept, but something's not right about it. I think they caramelize the sugar on top a little too dark, and the bitterness really overrides the tartness of the lemon and really enhances the bitterness and astringency. But that's just one example. There are lots of examples of lemon done right!

But by and large, I love lemon stuff.
