55 South in Franklin, TN, has it going on! I stopped by after a meeting at the fantastic Williamson County Public Library with its energetic director. I shall start with the toasted marshmallows. Totally superfluous but delightful garnish. This BP is chocolate and I don't have any idea what else was in it. Apparently the restaurant changes flavors often, and you have to be "in the know" to know it's there prior to arriving. I couldn't find it listed on any of the menus on the website. It was perfectly firm in texture, and the taste was a lovely basic chocolate (I fear it had some barely detectable fancy ingredient and I'm doing a disservice). I got it to go and ended up eating it cold, which should have been a no-no, but was a yes-yes!
Price: $7.95, but enough for sharing.
Raisins: Nope
Sauce: Nope
Ice cream: Yes, premium vanilla

Thanks to Beth of Eat.Drink.Smile.http://www.eat-drink-smile.com/, who enthusiastically recommended this BP at the Nashville Food Bloggers Holiday Shindig.
A shout out to Wine with Lisa, who swears this Louisiana BP with Buttermilk Bourbon Sauce is the best ever. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, even though it has raisins.

Butternut-Chard-Cheddar for the Nashville Food Bloggers Holiday Shindig

I am so thankful for the incentive, which was the Nashville Food Bloggers Holiday Shindig. It was my coming out party for the blog. What a wonderful, diversely-inspired group of food writers. I had no idea that people knew about it, so thank you, viewers! And thank you to Lisa of Wine with Lisa for helping me add the email widget to the blog.
It was not the finger food that the Nashville Food Bloggers Holiday party specified, but hey, I write about bread pudding, so what was I to do? Maybe I'll figure out a way to create bite sizes before the next event.
Oh, by the way, it's only 7 Weight Watchers points as an entree and 4 as a side. It serves 8 or 16.
Many thanks to Teresa Blackburn for the lovely photos. And a disclaimer because she is a professional food stylist, and there was a "glowy" lighting situation that defied her talent.
