Top Chef contestant Tre Wilcox was sent home in the 7th week of season three because of a bad bread pudding. He's making up for his faux pas by sharing a new bread pudding recipe with us. So break out the cheese (NOT Velveeta, thank you!) and get the grill fired up, cuz this recipe calls for a nice rack of lamb, too.
