This Isn't Bill Cosby's Pudding

We didn't land on bread pudding, bread pudding landed on us.

A little over one year ago, back when we were Green & Green(er), we stood patiently every Saturday morning and watched our buddy Mike sell hundreds of Breakfast Burritos. Waiting. Patiently. For the lunch rush.

Lunch would come, and we'd get busy. But what to do about breakfast? Some background: When we had our booth at the Portland Farmers Market, each vendor had to "jury" any food product they wanted to sell so that the PFM could ensure that vendors weren't stepping on each other's toes by selling similar products. For example, here's our story:

Q: Can we sell crepes? A: A crepe vendor might be joining the market mid-season. So no.
Q: How about fried egg sandwiches? A: Another vendor is making a product that is "too similar."
Weeks went by, and each morning, we waited, patiently, for lunch.
Finally it happened..it clicked.
Q: What about a French Toast Bread Pudding? Q: What's that?

And we learned that the Portland Famers Market couldn't say "no" to what they didn't know. After a few weeks we brought on the savory bread puddings, new sweet recipes, and it kept getting bigger. The rest is history.

Now we will continue to bring you the fruits of our labor. Saturday's treat:
