Richmond, Virginia was not particularly known for its upscale casual modern restaurants until 2010 Rising Star Jason Alley opened Comfort in 2002. With food-centric restaurants like this taking the place of the starched conservatives of the Richmond food world, the culinary world here is looking exciting again. Southern comfort-food classics not often found in restaurants like a Southern Relish Tray: Deviled Eggs, Crudités, Pimento Cheese, and House-made Pickles and Crackers are a welcome addition to the dining scene here. There’s an unapologetic love of old-school Southern food here, right down to the house-cured pickles.
