A number of years ago, I had friends visiting the New Orleans area and they returned home raving about the Commander’s Palace. Several years later, I was in Louisiana and took some folks for lunch and I was hooked!
Located in the Garden District of New Orleans, this restaurant was established in 1880 and is world renowned for some of the finest foods that I have ever eaten. The unique blend of creole and ‘gourmet Southern’ has made this restaurant one of highest rated venues in the country.
Thankfully, I have had a business contact in the New Orleans area for many years… which has given me the opportunity to visit and dine there… he loves the restaurant as much as I. It is our offical luncheon spot. Several times per year for the past decade, I have enjoyed their hospitality.
Of all the things they serve, the Bread Pudding Souffle with Whiskey Sauce is my favorite. It is prepared with fresh baked French bread, served piping hot with a souffle top, then showered with heaping tablespoons of a creamed whiskey sauce. Although a Southern Baptist, I am rather partial to this whiskey sauce!
If you want to impress your friends and family with a mouth watering dessert, this is it. However, it will take some time to prepare. Check out the Commander’s website for the recipe. www.commanderspalace.com
