My grandmother used to make the most incredible chicken divan, and my mom has carried out that tradition. It's my comfort food. It's amazing how you can almost taste the memories with a dish like that! And the more leftovers, the better.

The Travel Channel had success with their 'Food Paradise' series, '10 Best Places to Pig Out' and those types of specials, so they knew there was a market for comfort food and wanted to develop a show around it.

You can't go wrong with relatively simple comfort food. It's also about ease. Some cook to impress. I cook for people to enjoy the food.

My ideal meal varies, depending on the time of year. Lobster on a deck overlooking a beach at sunset is one - but all my kids have to be there, because they are all lobster-lovers. Making a bolognese sauce over pappardelle for my husband on a winter evening, because he loves my bolognese sauce and it's his comfort food.

Amy Bloom

At home, my food is just sort of comfort food. It's not super fancy, but it's certainly tasty.

It's just really hard to commit to clean eating, and then sometimes you don't want to eat cold salads. Sometimes you want that warm comfort food.

Ari Lennox

Sometimes a little comfort food can go a long way.

Benjamin Bratt

Food is a lot of people's therapy - when we say comfort food, we really mean that. It's releasing dopamine and serotonin in your brain that makes you feel good.

Brett Hoebel

Opening a family-style restaurant with comfort food like mac 'n' cheese, ribs and burgers has always been my dream.

Bridget Hall

I'd like to be reincarnated as a French tart. They're so beautiful and delicate - they're like my opposite. I'm more of a comfort food: goat cheese with garlic.

Cecily Strong

Pierogies are textbook comfort food.

Claire Saffitz

Comfort food is absolutely moving upscale.

Danny Meyer

When I want comfort food, I buy Maltesers. I like all chocolates, but especially those. You can eat them, and because they're so light, you can convince yourself that they are not actually that fattening.

David Walliams

For me, I can't eat healthy 100 percent of the year. There's obviously those little times where you have to eat something that's not great for you, but you just need comfort food.

DeAndre Yedlin

If I feel like I need comfort food, I'll have a bowl of porridge with honey, and instead of a sweet sugar fix, I'll eat a probiotic yogurt.

There's no denying that candy is comfort food and it's affordable.

America is a such a melting pot, I'm not sure if roast chicken is the classic comfort food for everybody.

Eric Ripert

If I'm out of town and I'm in a situation where I have to be creative, it has to be hot dogs because that's my comfort food.

Ester Dean

Comfort food is really anything you want at that time. That said, I really love Naple-style pizza.

Geoffrey Zakarian

The knish is a classic example of peasant food evolving into comfort food and even sophisticated fare.

Gil Marks

Skillet corn bread has always been my go-to-comfort food, and my mom used to make it for me as a treat when I was younger. I do this for my girls now whenever I think they need a little love.
