Red Dog Diner Does 'Creative Comfort Food' on Magazine

Helen Freund reviews Red Dog Diner this week, a Magazine Street cafe from The Rum House team: "The homey vibe extends to chef Terri Savoie's menu, with its extensive list of eclectic and creative comfort food. While most dishes have an Americana feel, there are international touches here and there, as seen in a bowl of seafood and chorizo stew topped with saffron-colored ancho pepper rice and in duck diablo soup topped with poblano-spiced polenta croutons.
