Everyone has some food that speaks to them, conveying security, exultation and fullness of spirit (pun definitely intended). Many of New York City’s giants of gastronomy actually yearn for relatively simple fare when they escape their kitchens and eat out. What is your comfort food? Do you prefer food that’s simple, or elaborate?

Students: Is your comfort food your favorite food? If not, what is, and how are they different? Is your comfort food healthful? Do you think that matters? Does your favorite change by season? What are you looking forward to eating most this summer? Is your food only available from your family, or served at a particular restaurant? Could you eat it every day, or would that make it less special?
