For several years I went to High Point, NC, during the furniture markets and worked in the kitchen with several industrious chefs. I had no cooking credentials, and was grateful for the learning opportunity. We served several hundred people three meals a day. Each morning along with the freshly cooked bacon, sausage, eggs, biscuits, etc, we also served trays of sweet rolls and croissants from a local bakery. And at night we would make bread pudding in large hotel pans from the sweet breads left over from the morning meal. It was our most popular sweet, even though we made many much more elaborate desserts. That's how I learned to make bread pudding, and this is the bread pudding I now make at home taken from that learning experience. (As a side note, I had the absolute pleasure of spending a day with Darrell Scott, who wanted to learn to make my bread pudding. It was one of the most enjoyable days of my life, which included about 2 hours of his incredible music!)
