Readers Vote: 7 Favorite Cold-Weather Comfort Dishes

View as Map

Last week, we asked readers what the best cold-weather comfort dishes are in the Twin Cities. Well, it was cold out there last week, and it was cold out there this week, and it looks like it will be cold out there...for the rest of winter. So, there's plenty of time to try these 7 cold-weather comfort dishes, ranging from spicy jerk chicken to steamy pho to classic pot roast. There's even a duck heart ragu on the list, to fortify you for the cold by the core strength of many waterfowl.

Want to add your cold-weather comfort food to the list? Let us know in the comments.

meezownplace nominates Marla's Caribbean Cuisine for cold weather comfort: "Marla's Jerk Chicken with dhalpuri on the side. Gotta get it Indian Hot. The chicken's perfectly cooked, carrots and cabbage provide excellent texture. It's a great dish to take one's time on with a book."
