“Barrio Cafe‘s famous chiles en nogada for me – a fat poblano stuffed with chicken and autumnal fruits, and drizzled with a sweet cream sauce. It also calls for pomegranate seeds, so it was a seasonal dish for many years. When I saw it on the menu, I knew fall had really arrived.”

“I crave comfort food in cooler weather, so Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour‘s green chile mac and cheese is my favorite fall dish. Its creamy cheesiness is balanced by the smoky kick from the chiles. Adding bacon puts it over the top.”

“It’s all about the turkey for me. The Pilgrim at Cornish Pasty Co. is like Thanksgiving dinner (turkey, sweet potatoes and stuffing in a pocket of flaky dough with sides of cranberry sauce and gravy)… without the political arguments.”

“It’s gourd season, so pumpkin pie! I love the smell, the spice, the creamy texture, the warm and cozy memories it conjures. Grassroots Kitchen & Tap makes an excellent one. I especially love the flaky crust.”

“A warm chai from Press Coffee Roasters is autumn in a cup. The smell makes me feel cozy and warm, and the taste makes my soul happy.”
