We’ve Found the Best Damned Bakery in America (and Possibly the World)

Let me just start by saying, I am not a dessert guy. I rarely leave enough room at the end of the meal, and I’ve never quite enjoyed sweet things as much as savory ones. So, when I tell you that we’ve found the best fucking bakery in America, and the cakes there will melt …

Brave the Crowds and Try This Busy Italian Restaurant in Richmond

Our Attempt to Find the Best Biscuit in Richmond

In a great Southern food city like Richmond, you’d expect it would be easy to find a quality biscuit.

Restaurant Review: Catch on the Ave | Alexandria, VA

We have no shortage of restaurants here in Alexandria. Old Town, especially, has everything from fast casual to fine dining, with the crowds to match. One of the less touristy parts of Alexandria is the Del Ray neighborhood. With no shortage of restaurants, Del Ray aims to be the locals’ spot. Unfortunately, the restaurants in …

Avowed city dwellers though we are, we recently set out to enjoy a quiet weekend at the lake at nearby Lake Anna, VA. A little fresh air, a little sunshine, and some swimming in a nice, cool lake sounded like just the thing for a June weekend. This did not go as planned. Over on …
