Best of List: Warming Comfort Food
Angelini Osteria
Ask
Wolfgang Puck what's the perfect fish and he'll say the Salt-Crusted
Branzino at Angelini Osteria. On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, he admitted
to dreaming about the Branzino's light, delicate flavors. Angelini's
also has another admirer, as Giada dreams about the Lasagna Verde with
spinach pasta.
Cricklewood
Northern California may not be the first place you think of for classic steakhouses, but Cricklewood is just that. They serve up aged Black Angus beef, Sonoma County wines and the best thing Guy Fieri ever ate in a bowl: French onion soup.
Dish
Walking
into Dish feels like walking into someone's grandmother's house. It’s
warm and casual and you get the feeling you're going to be taken care
of. Come for classic Southern comfort food like fried green tomatoes or
chicken and biscuits, a Guy Fieri favorite.
Gumbo Schack
When you're hungry for serious Creole food, head on down to Gumbo Shack. The local favorite has bands playing every weekend, gumbo ranked #6 on Alabama's Top 100 Foods to Eat Before You Die, and crawfish so spicy Guy Fieri almost couldn't handle it.
Kakawa Chocolate House
A visit to Kakawa will change the way you look at chocolate. The staff will happily explain the food's history or take you on a tasting tour of different styles of chocolate. Stop in for truffles, chocolate elixirs, homemade ice cream or spicy drinking chocolate.
