Paw Paw's Bar B Que

The Best Desserts In America, According To Christina Tosi - The Infatuation

"“I've known Sean Brock for 17 years. When you know someone for that long, you're rooting for them. You've tasted their food through all of the different phases and evolutions of them as a human, as they’ve ‘grown up’ in their professional pursuit. Audrey is his best work to date because it is so truly who he is and why he loves food and why he wakes up every day as a chef. When you walk in, it feels like he's bearing his soul. There are so many different breads to call home, from biscuits to blue cornmeal cornbread, all of which is legit. But his pawpaw and banana pudding is so unbelievably delicious. Pawpaw is the best kept secret that only people that know about it know about; it's sweet and starchy like a banana with a little bit more acid, not in a scary way, just in a way that makes you feel like you're tasting ‘nana and ‘nila pudding for the first time. This man's obsessed with pudding. Pudding is like a pastry cream. There's no texture to it, but that also means there's nothing to hide behind. It's like the epicenter of nostalgia from a dessert standpoint. This is the dessert that, for me, is the tippy top. If every restaurant could serve this dessert, I would basically just go for dessert every single night.”" - brennan carley
