I’ve been on a hot streak lately so no underwhelming meals to report. Would love to know everyone’s thoughts on Sprezza. The reviews I’ve seen are very conflicting. She did make a ballsy statement on a podcast where she said that there is no authentic Italian restaurants in Richmond. I thought that was tasteless but it sounds like her food is tasteless as well.

Unrelated, but has anyone had any success with getting their money back on a stolen package delivered via USPS? It was a couple of ceramic pieces, maybe $80 in value. More sentimental value than anything. I think it was insured by the seller so I'll reach out to them, but wasn't sure if this is just wasted effort?

It seems to be the choice spot for friends who I haven’t seen in years who live on the other side of the country. I’m not gonna say no and not get to see them. I’ll just say yes and then complain on Reddit where it doesn’t matter because internet points are fake

With how many trendy restaurants we have, there are bound to be more than a few that are all flash and no substance.

Cafe Rustica has never let me down though, they are 3/3 on clean plate meals. Probably the least flavorful thing there is the spetzle, and that's just a side.

I get their marinated roast with gravy...you can cut it with a fork and it's always hot.

Unfortunately it was Edo’s Squid. I don’t know if it was normal, but everything was just so over seasoned. Too much salt, too much pepper. The fish, pasta, and appetizers. Only thing that I really liked that evening was the bread. We’ll give it another try, but hearing so much about it we were real excited to go there on our anniversary as it usually isn’t in the budget.

Holiday hump day. At a running total of 45 minutes of actual work completed so far this week. If I make it through the week with less than 2 hours of work completed, I'll start believing in God. (dies by lightning strike)

I've never had any shakes or dessert from Coco + Hazel but I've had a few breakfast items that were great. Bacon egg and cheese biscuit was really flavorful and not dry, if massive. They don't always have the same items though.

For a locals coffee place that serves really good food and coffee I prefer either Cafespresso or Surrounding Counties. The former has awesome paninis and the latter has real kolaches, a staple breakfast where I'm from in TX.
