"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
1 (16 oz.) loaf French bread
3 cups sugar, divided
2 cups half-and-half
5 large eggs, lightly beaten

Directions:
Tear bread into small pieces; arrange in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Cover loosely with a paper towel, and allow to stand at room temperature for several hours or until bread is stale and dry. (Or to speed up the process, place bread on a baking sheet, and bake at 300º for 15 minutes or until bread is dry.)
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups sugar, half-and-half, eggs and 2 tsp. vanilla; pour over bread in baking dish. Sprinkle raisins over top; press top of mixture with the back of a spoon to make sure all bread is covered with egg mixture. Let stand for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350º. In a medium bowl, combine pecans, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup butter; sprinkle over top of bread mixture. Bake for 35 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
In a medium saucepan, whisk remaining 1 cup sugar and remaining 1/2 cut butter over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, for 3 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat, and cool slightly. Add bourbon and remaining 1 tsp. vanilla, stirring until smooth. Pour over warm bread pudding.
