Martha Washington's Corn Pudding

This is a recipe I discovered while on a road trip to Washington DC with my mom back in 2006. I didn't want to eat at ANY "ole" place in such a notable city of history. We drove around passing diners and Applebees when finally, we stumbled upon the famous, Gadsby Tavern Restaurant in Alexandria, Va. This is a place of history where George Washington used to eat among other notables. The wait staff were dressed in period pieces and there was nothing but candle light which helped to set the mood of the history and provided great ambiance. Plus, the food was out of this world, delicious. I never had corn pudding before. It complimented my meal of appled pork chops and sweet potatoes so well. 

I recommend this place to anyone when visiting our nation's capital. The tavern is located in Alexandria, Virginia, just south of Arlington and Crystal City and north of George Washington's Manor in Mt. Vernon, Virginia.
