Who has the best "comfort food"?

~terry Mon, Oct 13, 1997 (13:40) #1

Threadgills probably. Central Market just dropped out of the compeition in my book.

mashed potatos are the ultimate comfort food. If you add cream and garlic they are simply the ultimate food!

Mashed potatoes are very comforting. As are French Fries.

Dot's Place WER

~terry Thu, Oct 16, 1997 (09:32) #5

I ate there! Dots place is good! Get there a little late or early to avoid huge lines. And sometimes this doesn't even work. It's the North Austin answer to the once popular Virginia's in South Austin. (no longer around).

I ate at Dot's once and had a yucky experience with their salad bar. Food poisoning according to the doc!

~terry Thu, Oct 16, 1997 (13:37) #7

This was not good. I had a much better experience there with all american greasy food.

Magnolia's got the comfort thing going for me. Do most people eat when they need comfort? When I'm upset I can't eat anything... sadly enough days on end went by in college. When I'm upset I exercise (and don't eat) it makes for a grizzly combo -- no fuel/expending tons of energy. Eight of ten times though, I'd feel better with the exercise in a few days and everything would right itself.

These days I find the most comfort at the icehouse.

Not at the Q?

~terry Thu, Nov 13, 1997 (10:43) #12

The Q too.

~stacey Thu, Nov 13, 1997 (12:57) #13

My comfort place... St. Mark's Coffee house in LoDo. Of course, that's if I'm feeling like leaving the comfort of my own home.

What place comforted you the most in Austin?

~stacey Fri, Nov 14, 1997 (09:53) #15

Flipnotics in the summer. MOJO's in the winter. -- I don't KNOW why! I also really enjoyed a quick jaunt through Zilker and the Greenbelt on my MTB or an easy jog around Town Lake (dawn or dusk, never in between)

~terry Sun, Nov 16, 1997 (22:28) #16

You don't know WHY?

~stacey Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (09:55) #17

I don't really know why I prefered one in the summer and another in the winter but, tis true -- you did not find me at MOJO's in the warm months. In retrospect, most of those months seemed warm compared to here. The weekend high was 14 degrees and we were at a football game!

~terry Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (13:48) #18

Which game? Bronchos?

~stacey Tue, Nov 18, 1997 (11:04) #19

Nope. The AirForce Academy vs. Wyoming.

~terry Tue, Nov 18, 1997 (13:41) #20

What was the outcome?

~stacey Wed, Nov 19, 1997 (11:12) #21

AirForce Academy won.
