DessertTruck Works tasting

Chocolate bread pudding with bacon custard sauce

I could taste the imprint of bacon in the custard sauce that had been poured over the chocolate bread pudding. I liked the savory touch in something that was so sweet. I had never tried the famous chocolate bread pudding of DessertTruck Works that was declared the winner on Throwdown with Bobby Flay in 2009.

I went along with The French Culinary Institute's "Dessert Club" to DessertTruck Works to try all the sweet treats on Dec. 3. In 2007, FCI alum Jerome Chang and Chris Chen, a Columbia Business School MBA graduate, created DessertTruck with the goal of bringing gourmet desserts to the public in a mobile kitchen. This year, Chang opened the pastry shop/cafe at 6 Clinton St. in New York City. Besides bread pudding, the menu offers molten chocolate cake, donut holes, pavlova, honey rosemary ice cream, macarons and other delectables.
