Cedars of Dexter Catch of the Day

 The residents of the Cedars of Dexter tried something new, Seafood Bread Pudding!

Although this was just a regular menu night, we ran this unique daily special. The idea was mine from before I worked with Morrison, I thought it would be nice to try it at the Cedars as it presents well and is remarkably cost effective when you consider the use of leftovers and the presentation.
