Bread Puddin'...It's a Goodun
Mostly when we talk about "new adventures in comfort food" at the Brick Oven Bistro, we refer to lunch and dinner entrees such as meatloaf, Yankee pot roast, citrus chicken, and our slightly more exotic fare like gumbo or crawfish etouffe. For a lot of folks, however, comfort food is all about dessert. In our last blog post we talked about our Brick Oven Bistro brownies, but today we'd like to share a little something about another Brick Oven Bistro dessert classic: our bread pudding. True story: a few months ago I overheard a conversation between two customers in our serving line. One of them had noticed that bread pudding was on our list of desserts. "Man, I love bread pudding," he opined. The other nodded and said, "So do I, but the best bread pudding I've ever had came from a restaurant in New Orleans." I couldn't help jumping in. "That wouldn't have been Brennan's, would it?", I asked. "As a matter of fact, it was," he said, with some surprise. We love Brennan's bread pudding as well, which is why we "reverse engineered" their recipe with some little tweaks of our own to offer up just a bit of that Crescent City flavor to our own City of Trees. The point to all this is that when you love good food, you can't help but want to share the best of what you experience in your travels. New Orleans is a legendary place to eat, with a lot of recipes worth emulating (and we've emulated a few for our menu), but great food is everywhere...so we'll just keep on doing our homework and sharing the best of what we find. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it! Now, pass me the Bourbon sauce!
