The catch is that it's only available from a few select stores. Available for a limited time (and only while supplies last), S. Truett Cathy brand restaurants (which includes Truett’s Grill, Truett’s Chick-fil-A, and [Dwarf House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rasta-jardin)) locations in Georgia have been selling a new banana pudding. Staying true to the classic Southern recipe, the dish consists of layers of creamy pudding, vanilla wafers, and fresh banana slices. According to those who have managed to get their hands on the elusive dessert, the pudding tastes just like what your grandmother might make. If you're in Georgia, you don't want to miss this limited time dessert.
