Bachelor Party Bread Pudding



So this bread pudding has a very interesting story behind it. Mainly because I remember (vaguely) the events around it and not really the taste. I had this bread pudding while attending my friend's bachelor party in New Orleans. The dessert was consumed, along with many drinks, at Commander's Palace, where I think we ruined a lot of people's dinners. There were 12 of us guys who had been out on Bourbon St. all day indulging in adult beverages. Then, we went to dinner all dressed up and nice looking. Ok, I digressed a little bit. Back to the bread pudding. It was the first bread pudding I had to order before dinner (like a chocolate lava cake). And, it was quite similar to a chocolate lava cake because it had a warm gooey center and a cakey outside. I really can't tell you what it tasted like because my taste buds were a little out of commission thanks to Bourbon St. I do know it wasn't worth being my last bite on earth, or else I would have remembered the taste.

Last Bite on Earth

I created a profile on the site Serious Eats (http://www.seriouseats.com) a few weeks ago and they asked me what my last bite on earth would be. So I naturally answered bread pudding. But, the problem I have with this answer is that I do not know which bread pudding I would have. It couldn't just be any bread pudding. If you have been reading my blog you would know I am very particular with my bread pudding and the place I had my favorite bread pudding at is closed. So dessert chefs out there, I challenge you to make a bread pudding that I would make my last bite on earth. If you have one let me know and I will make the trip to come try it (no matter how far I have to travel).

On a side note, if you are a foodie and have not been to or registered on the Serious Eats website I would highly recommend it. There is a lot of good info on there and the user community contributes a lot and quickly. I posted 2 questions and received a lot of feedback within 24 hours.
