Bread & Chocolate’s bread pudding is a caramelized crust topping heavy, moist folds of bread, with pockets of cinnamon flavor. Raisins are limited to the top. That is a risky and often lazy approach, because bread pudding needs significant flavor and texture bursts to prevent a bland core. However, this dish maintained decent flavor throughout.
Bread & Chocolate serves this bread pudding cold, which helps condense the dish and spread the flavor elements. It really should be served with a dairy-based sauce like crème anglais. This bread pudding was very good, but an accompanying sauce, relatively thick and cold, might have elevated it to divine. It deserves a great rating.
I've only tried one other bread pudding in DC, at Elephant & Castle. That is good, in part because it is served with a sauce. However, I rank this one just a bit higher.
