I spent the last week out of the office at one of my Company's sites in Twin Falls, ID. It was filled with fun and exciting experiences like eating Chick-Fil-A for the first time and scoping out a giant gorge or canyon, or some term like that that isn't in my Pacific Northwest vocabulary. My review on these things were:
1. Turns out Chick-Fil-A was pretty good. The pickles were a necessary touch.
2. That canyon was beautiful in a tree-less landscape sort of way.
So anyway, I got back to the office today and guess what we had in the fridge?! Correct! Bread Pudding. There was a Credit/Collections meeting in Vancouver this week and the crew had dinner and dessert at Big Al's, a bowling and restaurant entertainment destination in Vancouver, WA.
So yes, I spooned myself a decent lunch-sized bowl of bread pudding and tried out the Big Al's special.
My conclusion: For day-old BP, it held up well. As you can see from the picture below, it had raisins, which aren't my favorite in any dessert. However, this BP needed a little blast of flavor and the raisins provided it. Big Al's BP was made of very large bread chucks, (which I prefer as it adds some texture and makes it less mushy). They also clearly use
All in all, it was a lovely lunch time treat. Will I order it next time I go to Big Al's? Meh. Depends on how hungry I am.
Final grade: B-
