"Perhaps the most original bread pudding in town, it’s called a bread pudding poor boy. Although they do slip in some extra ingredients, what makes it deserving of the name (and inclusion on this list) is that the bread retains its shape, after being soaked in the custard and then deep-fried."

"For sheer decadence bacon po’ boy is hard to top; but if that’s your goal, order the fried bread pudding po’ boy."

Judy Walker

"I made a beeline when we arrived to taste the bread pudding po-boy. It was a whole loaf of bread made into bread pudding, and somehow fried. It was pretty darned yummy."

Nathalie Jordi

"Head to Ye Olde College Inn for the very meta fried bread pudding po’boy. It’s a crispy, sugary hunk of the classic New Orleans dessert."

Julia Shin

"The top was flaky and the bottom was moist and delicious. It’s obvious why this dish won “Best of Show” at the 2nd annual po boy fest."

Ned Hémard

"The winning entry was an entire loaf of bread fashioned into bread pudding, and somehow fried. Only in New Orleans."
