Rocke and I were introduced to this decadent recipe
at the annual Rotary BBQ when Maelyn Ritter, the Queen Anne Rotary President
2011-2012 brought it as her potluck contribution. Check out our award winning chili from the
same event at the link below. We have
modified it slightly to adjust to cooking at home, but there is a story behind
this famous pudding.
Marjorie, a local Seattle restaurant, has somewhat
of a “cult following” for the bread pudding.
Upon pastry chef, Manda Mangrai’s arrival in February 2005, they removed
it from their regular menu so she could put her own “stamp” on this Marjorie
dessert. After experiencing somewhat of
an uprising from their regular clientele, they reinstated the bread pudding’s
proper place on the menu, and it is said this is the best they’ve ever had.
