My favorite home comfort recipe
is a true melting pot dish – my
family calls it Popo-Bubbe Chicken
Soup.
Popo is Mandarin for
paternal grandmother; Bubbe is
the Yiddish word for grandmother. There are two dishes that come to
mind when I think of home-cooked
comfort food: my wife Susan's meat
pie and my mother's corned beef.

A favorite home recipe that comes
to mind is my mom's Shepherd's
Pie! Her recipe has to be under lock
and key - that's how special it is :)

I make the best ribs in town,
including my own secret,
homemade barbecue sauce.

To me, comfort food goes hand
in hand with my Smothered
Pork Chops, Mac & Cheese, and
Cornbread Dressing with Cranberry
Sauce.

My paternal family is Chinese and
my Popo would make a cure-all
chicken soup with bones, roots like
astragalus and ginger, dried things,
goji berries and red dates, bean
sprouts, garlic, more ginger and
garlic, and perhaps a secret Chinese
medicinal herb packet.
When my family moved to
Washington, DC and later Silver
Spring, Maryland, we added Bubbes
to our family circle and popos and
bubbes began combining healthful
chicken soup recipes. Bubbes added
carrots, matzoh ball soup fixings,
chicken with schmaltz, onions and
scallions, celery, parsnip, parsley,
pepper. They cooked it for a long
time over low heat conjuring up
loving and comforting grandmother
thoughts. That soup is my heritage.

The meat pie has minced pork
with spices in a pie crust. We call it
Christmas Pie, because we usually
have it around Christmas. It's one
of the rare meals all four of our kids
will actually eat.
The corned beef has an incredible,
tangy red sauce (almost like a
BBQ sauce). My mother would
make it for guests for my parent's
annual Holiday Party when I was
young, and then we would have it
for leftovers for the weeks around
Christmas.

My wife's Chicken Divan is a dish I
definitely consider a great comfort
meal.
