Corvallis Comfort Food

One of the best ways to brighten up a cold, rainy day is with your favorite plate of comfort food, and Corvallis has no shortage of options.

Some days just call for carby, cheesy, savory - sometimes spicy - goodness to cheer things up. If you're on the hunt for a new favorite comfort dish, we've got a few suggestions listed below. But consider this a starter list, because there are some great choices besides the ones listed here. One of Old World Deli's giant sandwiches with a cup of their homemade chili is another awesome pick. And Tarntip's pad Thai always does the trick for me.

1. Stuffed Tots from 4 Spirits Distillery

Snag yourself an order of 10 large, classic stuffed tater tots, loaded down with cheese and served with regular or spicy ranch (I recommend the spicy ranch). They're cheesy and carby and wonderful, especially paired with a tasty cocktail like the CocoaMotion, a mix of dark rum, hot buttered rum, and cocoa.

2. Penne Mac & Cheese with Bacon from the Peacock Bar & Grill

Penne pasta, cheesy goodness, and real bacon crumbled on top. If there's any other food that more perfectly personifies comfort food than mac & cheese, I can't think what it would be, and the Peacock's got a great dish of it to try.

3. Spicy Miso Ramen from Sada's Sushi & Izakaya

Enjoy Japanese ramen noodles in spicy miso broth served with mussels, fishcakes, pork, cabbage and shrimp͘. It's a hot, savory joy that will warm you up on even the coldest days.

4. Creamy Tomato Basil with Cracked Pepper

Enjoy a cup or bowl of creamy tomato basil soup with cracked pepper at Sky High Brewing. This pairs well with their Bavarian pretzels - three warm, soft pretzels served with their Base Jump Amber Ale cheese sauce.

5. Mezza Plate from Little Morocco

Hummus, baba ghanoush, labneh, veggies, pita chips, grape leaves, and falafel, all on one plate and served with warm pita, this is a little Middle Eastern feast full of everyone's favorites.

6. Meg's Meal from Cirello's Pizza & Pasta

This savory, cheesy pie features mozzarella, smoked provolone, feta and Parmesan cheeses, along with minced garlic and basil. Gooey, hot and delicious, it's the perfect fit for any day you're searching for cheesy goodness.

7. The Dizzy from the Dizzy Hen

The Dizzy offers you a lovely breakfast option that includes poached eggs with ham, chard, a biscuit, and gravy. This one isn't always on the menu, as the Dizzy Hen does a rotating menu.

8. Bulgogi Beef Bowl from Koriander
Koriander, Corvallis, Oregon

Curl up with thin sliced beef rib eye, marinated and stir-fried, with mixed rice, steamed vegetables, and tempura flakes, drizzled with teriyaki sauce and mayo hot sauce. It's perfect on any cold day. Plus, it's wheat free.

10. Mexi-Modern Bowl from Tacovore

This spicy, creamy favorite mixes green rice, coconut black beans, Tacovore's amazing avocado-cashew crema, jicama-radish kimchi, cabbage slaw, and sesame seeds into one tummy-filling, day-brightening dish. You can add chicken, steak, chorizo, or tofu for an extra charge (hint: go for the chorizo).
