What’s Popping

I like to believe that the best dessert I ever created in my entire pastry cheffing career was the popcorn pudding served at Dirt Candy (three years later it’s still on the menu!) Popcorn is hard to dislike, and it’s an unexpected (but approachable) flavor for desserts. So when I heard that a crew in Henderson was playing with popcorn and liquid nitrogen, I had to check it out. That’s when I noticed that popcorn shops exist in every part of town. Maybe the dry air makes it a good environment for this stuff? In any case, this week’s Seven showcases three of my favorites.
