Oh my goodness. On Friday night, I went to culinary heaven. I ate at Comfort, a southern comfort food restaurant in Richmond. Friends, it was so good.

For a restaurant with a renown chef (featured in Southern Living, etc etc), it is surprisingly laid-back and relaxed. Comfort is in downtown Richmond (the "Fan" area) , in what looks like an old retail building. High ceilings, distressed trim, classic southern music, and food that literally left me speechless? Yes please!
The menu is easy to navigate: after a list of appetizers, there is a list of entrees which each come with two or three sides. The entrees run from $17 to $25, and they are more than worth every penny. My favorite sides were the green beans (perfectly steamed and flavorful), the mashed potatoes (so creamy and smooth!), and the macaroni and cheese (to die for - very rich).
Below is my dinner as well as my friend's: I got the salmon with mashed potatoes and (already eaten) green beans, and he got the pulled pork barbeque with macaroni and cheese and squash casserole.
The wait was long, so try to get a reservation, but it was so worth it. I will definitely go back!
