Here’s my Brioche Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding, which when alligned correctly, will open a portal to another universe.  Okay that’s a lie.  You will definitely find it delicious.  We’re calling the sauce a blood orange reduction, but it’s really a caramel sauce that uses blood orange puree instead of heavy cream.  A quenelle of whipped orange mascarpone cream holds down the orange zest chocolate tuile.  That cookie is a sonofabitch to make.  I break one in three, so I started baking just two at a time.  With a baking time of five minutes, I can get six cookies in about twenty minutes…which sucks.  The plate looks bangin’ though, and the bread pudding scraps keep the staff happy.  In other news, people are checking out Ten-01 because of this blog.  I’ll be damned.  I met with a table the other night who’ve read mrjeffmccarthy.com  and even mentioned the Irish Car Bomb.  They’re mom even blogged about them meeting me!  I’ve also started selling some of my desserts at The Armory Cafe, and they are going over well.  I’m going to start making them flatbread pizza’s, almond tarts, and maybe some form of high end hot pocket.  Still eating well, Mom!  Check out this Lamb Chop dinner cooked up for me by our grill cook Richard! Goat Cheese Gnocchi…Yum!!
