Bread pudding is not something that many people will drive across town for, so as I sat in Mudgies for lunch one day, the server asked us if we would like desert. Deserts are always a curious treat so we asked what was available. I was not incredibly drawn to the "bread pudding waffle".
The server began describing deserts like the, "Fudgie Mudgie" and cheese cake. Then suddenly she described what she called, "Sweet Ruth". Yes mam! Sweet Ruth is a dessert that will make your head spin. A generous portion of freshly made bread pudding batter is poured in a hot waffle iron along with diced apples and cooked to order. When it comes off the iron it is topped with Calder's Ice Cream, butter scotch caramel, fresh whip cream, walnuts, and a little cinnamon.
This dessert is not heavy, or over the top on the sugar(although the caramel is obviously very sweet) but will leave you wanting to lick the plate. Mudgies also serves a great local coffee.
Oh my good grief - I have to have this next time I'm in Detroit. I can normally take or leave dessert BUT if you say bread pudding, I'm in -- even if stuffed already to the gills.
