KENT, OHIO-When the Kent State Football team room officially opens for business early in the morning, Will Matthews is usually the first one in the door. An ordinary feat perhaps, until you consider the veteran Golden Flash running back was selling New Orleans-style food just a few hours ago.
Still in its infancy, Southern Comfort Kitchen has taken the Kent community by storm. Quite simply put, it's a food truck – serving jambalaya, gumbo, bread pudding, shrimp, crab meat and many other bayou favorites. In the business, it is called a "pop-up," in that it has the ability to travel, set up and quickly cater to those with a taste for some far-away flavor.
