Puddin'

"Puddin’ is tucked in the very back of Union Market, and despite the stand’s bright pink coloring, it can be easy to miss if you let yourself get lured in by the dozens of restaurants before you get there. Steel your resolve and hit this southern comfort food joint for an incredible pork-free gumbo, and don’t forget to grab some of their signature bread pudding, too." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed

"Before setting up shop at Union Market, Puddin’ was a popular food stall on Capitol Hill where devout customers devoured things like chicken and beef sausage gumbo, oyster and catfish po’boys, and its signature dish, the Brown Butter Bourbon Bread Puddin’. The staff here will take the time to not only walk you through the menu, but also hand over free samples you’ll take a little too quickly. Regardless of what you order, you have to end your meal with the boozy bread pudding that (if requested) comes with a fat scoop of vanilla ice cream. " - tristiana hinton, omnia saed

"Why a Wild Blue Catfish po’boy? Simple—the catfish is eating up seafood in the region, so why not make po’boys out of them? Other local fried seafood like Rappahannock Oyster and shrimp also come on a sub roll dressed with remoulade, a spicy Cajun mayonnaise, and its tangy sweet vinegar slaw. Order one “naked” without the bread and in a bowl ​or make any po’boy “a homeboy” and it’ll come with a half smoke." - Tierney Plumb, Tim Ebner

"Puddin: Comfort food is the name of the game at this food truck-turned-food hall outfit. A top seller is the chicken ‘n beef sausage gumbo, and of course, its namesake brown butter bourbon bread puddin’." - Tierney Plumb
