Short List Runner-Up

In this month’s Short List, we revealed three places where you can find the ultimate indulgence: the best bread pudding in town. Now, we give you one more version of this dessert not to overlook. As for those resolutions, well, there’s always next year. Frazer’s Restaurant & Lounge 1811 Pestalozzi St., St. Louis, 314.773.8646 There’s a rich spirit of adventure at Frazer’s where the bread pudding is made from whatever leftover bread’s in the kitchen that day. On a recent night, the risk paid off. Focaccia served as a worthy backdrop for the cream, nuggets of white and milk chocolate, and whiskey sauce that blended into a mouthwatering mélange of sweetness, boozy comfort and warm, moist, thoroughly transformed bread.
