When Big Daddy's in the house on your birthday, it's all about comfort. Starting off this feast to ease the soul is a Spiced Chicken Soup that will warm you from the inside out.

Next up, a Garlicky and Green Grilled Caesar Salad and to finish it off, some Sticky Buns that will remind you of the good old days.
Sandwiches are pretty comforting to begin with, so imagine the double-dose of cozy that comes with a comfort food sandwich.

Next up, that most famous of all comfort foods, meatloaf! But the Sandwich King pairs his meatloaf with crispy onions and slips it onto a soft potato roll. All this meal needs is a warm bowl of roasted tomato soup. Pass the remote!
