Comfort Foods with a Twist

Ever tried a Meat Loaf Sundae?

The cooler fall weather evokes a desire to be comforted by the warmth of family, friends and great food! During this season of harvesting and family gatherings, enjoy the nostalgia of classic comfort foods with a new spin.

French Sliders at French 75
David Wilhelm's mini-burgers (a la the Midwest’s White Castle) served on Brioche with crispy onions and a splash of Roquefort sauce. Little bites of heaven.

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup at The Loft
This lunchtime favorite features Irish cheddar on sourdough and an heirloom tomato bisque. Condensed soup and yellow cheese grows up.

Macaroni and Cheese at Pavilion
Chef Bill Bracken’s famous treat made with Taleggio cheese and crushed truffles. Sure beats the bright orange stuff.

Meat Loaf & Mashed Potato Sundae at The Clubhouse
Homemade meat loaf mounded high with mashed potatoes, brioche and crisp onions, served with wild mushroom bordelaise and succotash vegetables. Better than dessert.

Organic Whole-fried Jidori Chicken at Stonehill Tavern
Michael Mina’s dinner for two is served with mascarpone polenta,
cipollini rings and chicken jus. This is definitely not from a bucket.
