Just a Bump in the Beltway: Comfort Foods

June 22, 2006

Comfort Foods

Four days into the first big heat wave of the season, I'm craving oven heavy foods. Bummer. I'll make gazpacho on the weekend after a trip to the Farmer's Market. But, damn, I'm craving yorkshire puddings at the moment. I have to seek out a restaurant with popovers in the morning and don't know of a single joint which makes them around here.

The Normandy Inn in Minneapolis had some of the best popovers and prime rib in Minnesota when I lived there. I wish I could find something like that here.
