Nosy – Textbook Comfort

Posted on by

Next Door just opened last week in the former Addie’s Pizza Pie location and Chef Sharon Lorraine Anderson (The Purple Plum) is serving international comfort food with a twist. When I stopped by the other day, it took me awhile to order because I wasn’t super hungry and the prices seemed high, but I finally decided on the Braised Short Ribs (with roasted carrots, sweet onions, baby turnips and Anson Mills creamy grits, $18).   That turned out to be a good decision because the meat was fork tender and I wanted to bathe in the savory sauce.  The carrots added sweetness and crunch, while the acid in the tomatoes made the dish pop.  This dish was textbook comfort:  creamy, hearty and substantial.  And the leftovers reheated beautifully the next day.  Brunch will be added this weekend for Mother’s Day, with dishes like Chicken & Waffles ($12) and Quiche Lorraine ($10).
