A fresh start

From this point on, I'll have a photo of the BP and more description. Merry Christmas!

Other BPs I have loved

Since I don't have a good memory of these, I'll just combine this posting. I don't know what is rich and too rich, so I guess you have to taste it to know. I don't guarantee that these places still serve BP as I visited them prior to 2010. And yes, it looks inconsistent, but sometimes I can like it even with raisins.

Teller's Gallery, Columbia, MO - 4, bourbon sauce, excellent despite raisins
Big John's Chicago, IL - 4, excellent despite raisins
Ralph Brennan's Jazz, Anaheim, CA - 3, vanilla, cream, big raisins
Catal, Anaheim, CA - 3, chocolate, too rich
Exposure, Chicago, IL - 4, huge portion, rich
Reading Market, Philadelphia, PA - 4, peach BP sold by an Amish vendor
Busboys and Poets, Washington, DC - 3, raisins and white chocolate
Nacionale 27, Chicago, IL - 4, ice cream, everything they make is fantastic
Marjorie's, Seattle, WA - 4, like everything they do
Medici, Chicago, IL - 3, great texture but sneaky raisins
Boudros, San Antonio, TX - 4, bourbon sauce and raisins
Mello Yellow, Chicago, IL - 3, good but raisins

Umbria, Boston

I would skip this one. Elegant but tiny portions and the BP was just ok.

Skipjacks Seafood Emporium, Boston

Since it's been almost a year, I'm going to just enter the good ones in each city. Skipjacks had a lovely chocolate BP. The website makes you download the PDF for the menu, which gets on my nerves, so I'm not sure if they still sell it.

Legal Sea Food, Boston

Legal Sea Food is known for seafood, not dessert, so while the cherry BP was ok, and had a wheaty and dry taste, I wouldn't order it again. It may be a sporadic entry on the menu.

Price: 8?
Raisins: No

Flour Bakery, Boston

This place is awesome, so the BP had no choice. Despite being room temperature, the chocolate banana combination was memorable. The topping was generous. I want more! Thanks to whoever posted about the best BPs in Boston. I visited 5 of them.

Brasserie Jo, Boston

These next entries are older, so I won't have much detail. The orange chocolate chip was served room temperature and it had a smooth texture. Brasserie Jo restaurants are in many cities. This one was attached to the Colonnade Hotel. It seems to still be on the menu but they may change flavors.
