Chow Restaurant Review:
Chow may have been first to catch the scent of the Americana-comfort food trend, and it is still top dog. The secret: soul-satisfying food in hearty portions at bargain prices.

Noodles come with both Asian and Mediterranean inspiration. Desserts...
Behind velvet curtain awaits vamped-up culinary version of Mayberry. No Ron Howard, but provolone meatball sandwich draws loyal crowd, as does short ribs w/the garlic smashed potatoes and iceberg wedge with buttermilk blue-cheese dressing. Muffled chatter and clanking plates keep regulars alert. Food more comfortable than an old pair of sneakers. Cap off with warm chocolate cake
