One of my favorite desserts in the world is a cranberry pudding that came from one of my grandma's neighbors. Pudding in the British sense - it's really more of a not-too-sweet cake filled with whole cranberries and topped with a luscious lemon sauce.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The "cream" in Boston Cream Pie is traditionally thickened with cornstarch rather than egg yolks, and so is not technically a custard, depending on how pedantic you want to be.
It is goop, and therefore gag-inducing. But then, I'm a dessert crank, what with the not much liking sugar.

Bread pudding souffle with bourbon sauce at Commander's Palace
With "Congratulations!" written in chocolate sauce, since we were on our honeymoon and I taught JZ the trick of mentioning this fact to the staff of any place in which we ate. New Orleans being lagniappe city, we got all kinds of extras.

Thanks, Betsy! I'm now cutting and pasting those and adding them to my Word folder of recipes. Yum.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I don't know if there is more than one, but the Chicago Melting Pot I went to had really cool dark booths so you were sort of separated from other groups. I think it would be lots of fun with 6+ people.
There's one here in town. And it is fun. I even stole a bottle of their wine & garlic seasoning--it totally kicks ass on steaks on the grill.
I had a really great Bananas Foster in Austin, TX once. The pub down the street makes a stellar bread pudding.
Dessert tonight is an Entemann's donut which is also pretty fucking good.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
New York Magazine had an article about a year ago which was basically "Why does every restaurant in the city serve essentially the same menu?" That chocolate cake with the gooey center was one of the "on every menu" dishes mentioned. Still yummy. The place where I first tried it served it over raspberry coulis with hazelnut ice cream.
