First watch is chain garbage. Through and through. Not to say chains can't be good (I used to sous chef for Snooze A.M. Eatery out in Phoenix and that was an awesome brunch chain concept.

You mean the guy based in DC and uses relatively old news whenever he mentions anything from this area?

Consider going to the Henrico library in Varina. By far the best local(ish) library I have ever spent time in.

Popped into CoCo + Hazel once, was seriously underwhelmed, and disappointed. This was the one in Bon Air.

Was convinced by a friend to try "Eggs Up," a chain breakfast place also in Bon Air. Ye Gods, it was awful. Bland, expensive, boring. A $13plate of salt and margarine.

I like the comment, but wouldn't he be DC?

This is the way.

" He puts in the work "

Yeah, but he's an activist, not a journalist. You know what you're going to get.

Return of the Solstice

Lefty pinko rag.

Back home after my 10 day Ohio visit, what'd I miss?

I ate everything on the hospital breakfast menu after delivering ours. My husband still has a note on his phone with my order bc it makes him laugh. It was 100% the best breakfast of my life.

Trying to Adult on meetup is lead by a woman named Sam. I don't know that she's necessarily an 'influencer' in the Instagram sense, but she does frequently come up with fun things to do around Richmond for the group!

They have got to be laundering money. It's always empty

Wowza!!!

The dirty chai from Stir Crazy on MacArthur in north side is sooooo goooood

I know development on the other side of Arthur Ashe from the Diamond District is already starting and will happen...but it still makes me chuckle to look at both sides of the street in the DD renderings.

I went to First Watch in Miami for the first time years before I even knew the one in Richmond existed (or maybe it wasn’t there yet?) and it was great service and the food was good.

When I went in Richmond, the service was fairly shit on an average day (believe me Miami restaurants get more full than most Richmond ones) AND some of the food was rather crap. I got these grits that tasted/felt like someone just dumped boiling hot water on grits 5 min before they served them to me. Instant grits would be better. Also my eggs that were supposed to be over medium, were so undercooked, both the white and the yolk were like watery in certain places.

No not Ham Fatigue. I hated Ham Fatigue. I’m talking about HaHa Ham Fatigue, the Rent America side project.

Only been once, but really liked their fish tacos and margarita. Just not convenient so I haven't gone again. I was more disappointed by don't look back. I miss the fish tacos at Sullys happy hour.

It’s henrico but wow it’s beautiful! Oh I’m so excited.

Thank you everyone! It looks like I’ll be having a busy week visiting so many cool libraries

Why /r/rva of course

One time I decided to step out of my normal NC BBQ sandwich from Wood + Iron and get the Baja fish tacos. I still get queasy thinking about it. I’ve had some bangin’ food there but when they miss… boy howdy do they miss.

Westover hills and get a seat by the big window. They have comfy chairs.
