Yewon & Noodle + Friends (Specifically for the jajyunmyeong) are your best bets. Korean Garden & Seoul market are OK if you don't want to hike out to Yewon. Hopefully we get some better quality Korean spots in the next few years

Reply to comment by doodleswiththoughts in Recommendations for thrift stores like Carytown Goodwill? by tunia721
reminder that fan tastic and family thrift are owned by the same parent and both pick up donations under the guise of veteran benefit with no trace back to the real, 100% for-profit stores.
they do have the sickest most consistently good selection ive ever seen of any thrift store, though. +/-

Reply to comment by selfdiagnoseddeath in So is is just me or is Gersi basically the worst Italian restaurant in Richmond? by Swrdmn
I completely disagree. You are trying a chef's product and it's completely subjective; you are not guaranteed to like it. You're taking a risk. If something is genuinely wrong with the food -- it's tastes off, it's way too salty, it's the wrong dish, it smells bad, it's cold, etc, that's different. You just "don't like it"? No.

Sometimes it seems that way when you actually watch it. I think they need a "pitch clock" sort of like the "shot clock" on basketball. May help things too...less spitting and scratching in odd places.

Wegmans I believe is 3.09/lb for the family pack which runs $14-$16.

Bacchus is, in my opinion, extremely mediocre. I also find something about it a little bit gross, but I do like the mood in there

Back on our Aldi kick lately. Not sure the exact price per pound, but a pack of three breasts was like $11, but the “family pack” of six+ breasts was $14…
I just buy the big one, trim it all on Sunday before trash pickup on Monday. If I use it over the next couple days, cool, otherwise I freeze the rest.
Will use the frozen ones for something in the crockpot or soup or something down the road.
Somewhat related… dozen eggs are $3.99 at aldi.

It finally got me - on day three of the ‘Vid. Got a slight headache Thursday afternoon but it wasn’t anything crazy so I didn’t think anything of it. I woke up Friday morning with the worst chills, grabbed the thermometer and saw a nice 101.9 on it. About an hour later it got up to 102.7 so I got myself to the doc in a box. Got the combo swab for flu/Covid and within 10 minutes the dr was back with my results. I’m only 26, but I, fortunately (I guess??), was able to get one of the antiviral meds because I have asthma. Riding it out, watching football, and napping today.

That place before 9 am is a contractor madhouse. Unhinged.

Tom Leonard's will often do $1.99 a lb. I saw a sign for this price on Friday when I drove by.

Perlys (breakfast/lunch), L'opposum, Roosevelt, Metzger, Adarra, Laura Lees, Brenner, Stellas, Alewife, Heritage - anything in that vein will likely be solid/consistent serving wages. Atleast in my exp.
places in scotts addition (Lunch Supper/Fat Dragon) , usually have a solid lunch service as far as money goes most of the days. Downtown places that do lunch could be worth it.
I split time between a "nicer" restaurant 3x a week, and a more casual place on Sunday/Monday(dbl) and do pretty well - I bartend, but this is my experience from covering floor shifts - or working places that tip pool with a small staff.

Wawa at Laburnum and Eubank is insane.

I hit the local grocery store when they mark down the meat, buy lots of it, freeze it, and cook when needed.

Kogi on 2nd street has the absolute best kimbap I've ever had in my life. I usually eat most of a bibimbap bowl in store and have another meal of leftovers. Their kimchi pancakes are also really good.

The closest Harris Teeter is either Charlottesville or Williamsburg…

From a drivers perspective this is the hardest city to drive in I’ve ever been to, and I lived in DC for a decade and New York briefly.
Bikes and pedestrians don’t pay attention to crosswalks or stop signs, cars park in the middle of lanes for 10+ minutes, Amazon drivers stop traffic constantly, no one in this city understands turn signals. no one has any regard for anyone else’s safety here.
Something has to change not just in the infrastructure, but the mentality of this city. There is no reason this tiny town should have so many pedestrian deaths

I'm a Virginia native living in Portland,Oregon and thinking about moving to Richmond next year. How is Richmond for a soccer fan? Decent places to watch Premier League and MLS?

Reply to comment by anachronissmo in Student death sparks conversation on pedestrian safety at VCU by CrassostreaVirginica
Totally agree with this. This is a VCU problem not a city problem. I’m not blaming the victim in this situation and I’m honestly not that familiar with the story. There are a lot of students that just don’t pay attention when crossing streets and there needs to be more pedestrian bridges on campus to completely avoid the roads.
