When it’s cold outside, and I mean REALLY cold, a little “comfort” sure is appreciated and might just be achieved by some “comfort food.”
Thankfully @suz1974 pointed us towards the threshold of “The Blue Door.”
I expected to be “comforted” by the Fried Chicken, but I was shocked to be equally “comforted” by the Butternut Squash Soup, the Hazelnut Green Beans, and the Deviled Eggs. While I continue to maintain that I’m not a “bread guy”, I was absolutely blown away by the Cornbread. 🤯
Any modicum of surprise on my part is completely unjustifiable considering that Chef Art Smith served as the personal Chef to Chicago icon Oprah Winfrey for a decade.
Literally the only sad moment during our meal was when we realized we simply couldn’t eat anymore. 😢 Not even that reality could prevent the involuntarily action of me nearly slapping the hand of the server who was just trying to clear my empty plate. (Sorry, not sorry. ☺️)
You know what? Forget the cold and consider me completely “comforted!” 😋
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
