Style Weekly has published the readers choice award issue and there are too many H&H winners to comment on. Instead I’m going to highlight two local institutions. If you want to give a shout out to winners or those that were overlooked, please do so in the comments. The Forest – Best Dive Bar It’s [...]
We spread the rumor of a new eatery coming to Stratford Hills a little while back but I hadn’t heard or seen any follow up. Well, now Richmond BizSense.com has some follow up on the lovechild of child of Manny Mendez of Kuba Kuba and Chris DiLauro of Bacchus. The new place will be called [...]

The review is not perfect but the positives far outweigh the complaints of some chewy bread and occasional slow service. There was a favorite.
Mea culpa. I didn’t see an extensive review of Dixie Chicken on Bon Air Buzz this morning before I posted the mention in Style Weekly. So here is a bonus review. The author Jason Ledford really, really likes Dixie Chicken. (Full Review) I can personally give testament to the authenticity and deliciousness of the fried [...]
Dixie Chicken has forever ruined every other biscuit in the world for me, since none compare. It’s nice to see Style Weekly giving it a little love in Short Order.
There are some other carts in the running for Richmond.com’s Best Food Cart but let’s show our love for two of the best and Southbank regulars, Nate’s Taco Truck and Pizza Tonight. From Richmond.com
I’ve only been to Camden’s for lunch and I love it. Jon and Leah Neslon of Richmond.com have gone for dinner a couple times and came away with a similar respect for the homemade offerings and vibe. If you haven’t been you need to get down there. As Southbankers we can’t let a truly unique [...]
Soon there will be a local option (1203 Westover Hills Blvd) for some home made biscuits, chicken and BBQ. I first heard about The Dixie Chicken on Twitter but a couple of Facebook messages later I have the details of the latest food option to hit our area. I could rewrite what Todd sent me [...]
O’Toole’s has always kicked things off the day before St. Patrick’s Day and this year is no different. If I need to tell you to get there early on Saturday and expect a massive crowd, you’re new to the neighborhood so, welcome. Info below is from O’Toole’s Facebook. Friday: Glenn Crone at 5pm, followed by [...]
The first one is rumor and based solely on a photo posted (by Manny Mendez) that was then reposted to Forest Hill Facebook page on the 8th. The photo shows Chris DiLauro and Manny Mendez behind the counter at the shuttered Stratford Grill with the title New Partners. Chris is the chef and owner behind [...]
I tend to let Bon Air Buzz cover this area but I know a good number of my readers are Joe’s Inn fans so hit the picture or this link to purchase your Living Social deal. As always this deal is not valid on alcohol and only good for the Bon Air Joe’s Inn.
Things are a bit of flux at Parkside Cafe. First on February 21st they posted that they wouldn’t be open on Monday. Just letting everyone know our hours of operation are changing just a bit, we will now be closed Mondays, all other hours will stay the same. thanks! Then yesterday they posted this; Parkside Cafe will [...]
Click on the image or here to check out Richmond Good Life’s list of southside restaurants. The only one I’ve noticed missing so far is Mediterranean Brick Oven and I’ve let them know so it might even be on there by the time you read this post. Anybody else have one they missed? Restaurant chains [...]
Tim Vidra is the brains and camera operator behind E.A.T. but he also is kind enough to share some posts on this blog with his H&H Saturday Soups and Stews and H&H Happy Hour contributions. He is up for two Homies on theKitchn. As you might have guessed theKitchn focuses on activities in the kitchen [...]

It has largely flown under the radar but the Mediterranean Brick Oven (2557 Sheila Lane by Lowes) is starting to get some notice. Good reviews from both Richmond.com, Richmond Magazine, and readers are bringing it some attention. I checked it out a week or so ago and can say without hesitation the homemade pita, hummus [...]
Go here to purchase the deal which you can only use on food. I’m not saying I go to Legend frequently but the picture is of nachos from spring of 2011 because they no longer use multicolored chips and instead of that horrid cheese goo actually melt shredded cheddar cheese under the broiler now. The [...]
Groupon deal for O’Toole’s. The deal is for food only, no booze. Isn’t Guinness considered a food?
In case you’re out of the loop Camden’s Dogtown Market is open and running and now even has dinner. Camden Dogtown Market which is calling itself a “Mediterranean influenced, from scratch prepared foods and local, small gourmet market” replaces Ejay Rin which took over from Savor/Lunch Porter in Manchester. Thanks to the Tweeting of Matt Sadler [...]
You may or may not have caught my tease over on E.A.T. way back on December 28th when I made my country ham salad. In that post I made a hidden reference to making a split pea or bean soup right here on the H&H Saturday Soups and Stews. Well today in RVA it couldn’t [...]
