OMG Puddin
The banana pudding at Fishmongers (806 W. Main St) is my new favorite. I don’t know about its authenticity or how real pudding experts would rate it, but here’s why I like it: the consistency is amazing because of the high wafer-to-pudding ratio and the fact that the wafers are kind of crumbled and thoroughly incorporated throughout the pudding. It is also more vanilla-y than others I’ve had.
It was a special so I don’t know if they always have it, but the waiter said it was one of their specialties and was very proud of it, understandably.

Thinking we were maybe too full, we asked, “We might want to split one. How big is your serving?”
Service-minded as always, she asked, “How big do you want it to be?”
I love that. As far from corporate rigid as could possibly be.
The only bad thing is that she gave us a big portion because there were two of us. And really, we only wanted to split something small.
