    The king of fusion food is HERE! Everyone say hello to @globalfusionrva — one of the newest restaurants in @thefanrva.

    We tried @lolitasrva today for the first time after admiring it from the streets in Carytown for MONTHS now. It felt like we were back on vacation in Cabo with the open air atmosphere! The tacos were AMAZING—pastor with grilled pineapple, fried shrimp, sweet potato black bean. Our two year old…

    Alright everyone — the Korean tacos and bao buns from @koboprva are officially on our MUST EAT list. We’ve tried a lot of great food lately, but these jumped all the way to the top of the list! We got both the pork gochujang and the beef bulgogi—some as tacos and some as bao buns. The tacos were…

    FINALLY got around to trying one of Richmond’s top staples — @perlysrichmond. I’ve been hearing people rave about Perly’s ever since we moved out here about 4 years ago, and now I know why! Such a great experience all around — from the staff to the food to the ambience. —————————————————— ⬇️…

  • sijang chili crunch (at home)

    Jan 5, 2024

    Looking to add some seriously delicious spice to your meal? @sijangeats has you covered! They sent us some to try recently, and I’ve been on a kick with it. It’s smoky, garlicky, crunchy, and VERY spicy 🥵. The heat isn’t too bad at first, but it builds quickly, so be careful with it—especially…

  • anant's cuisine of india

    Dec 7, 2023

    Let’s be real: There’s NOTHING like Indian food. And @anantcuisine at Short Pump is doing it masterfully! Let’s dig in to the details… Appetizer We started things off with their Lamb Bhuna Bhatura — slow roasted lamb in a masala sauce, served over what was kind of like a fry bread. This was…

    Dec 2, 2023

    Anyone else craving these MONSTER carne asada nachos from @tiopablorva?? These things were loaded with juicy steak, melted queso, and pickled onions, and then topped with a huge pile of fresh guacamole. What more could you want in nachos? Seriously sooo good, and definitely the standout of the…

    Breakfast done right at @maplestreetbiscuitcompany! We checked out their new location near Woodlake off Hull Street, and MAN do I want to go back! We got: The Squawking Goat: An UNREAL biscuit sandwich with fried chicken, goat cheese, and pepper jelly. It was out of this world! Would 100%…

  • domoishi

    Oct 4, 2023

    Swung by @domoishilife with the family for some delicious ramen, poke bowls, and boba tea. I gotta say, the flavors in that poke bowl were UNREAL. It was loaded with salmon, shrimp, and crab—the holy trinity of the sea, imo 😇. And surprisingly, I was able to convince my 5-year old to try a bite…

  • slay burgers

    Sep 27, 2023

    We ate our feelings at @theslayburgers over the rainy, gloomy (did we mention, rainy?) weekend, and man did it SLAY! It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for smash burgers, and these were absolutely stacked. I got the big ounce (pic 1), which was a massive stack of two juicy smash patties, American…

  • basically halal

    Sep 15, 2023

    One of my absolutely favorite meals I had this year was from a halal cart in NYC. Earlier his week, @basicallyhalal brought me straight back there! Best of all, we live about 5 minutes away from it—so we will be visiting probably more often than is healthy 😂. We started things off with the…

  • fusion bowl

    Aug 23, 2023

    Why get 10 small pieces of sushi when you can get a whole bowl of it at @fusionbowl_va?! Their menu offers an array of colorful, clean ingredients that allow you to create a custom poke bowl exploding with flavor. We tried their salmon, shrimp, crab, and chicken in our bowls—and each bite brought…

    If you haven’t heard by now, @chefsuiterva is where you need to go next time you’re looking for dinner and everyone in the family want different kinds of food! @chefsuiterva is a grab-and-go “virtual” food hall with space for up to 16(!) different vendors.

  • pho lucas

    Aug 2, 2023

    🍲 🍜 Swung by @pholucas the other day for our first time, and for a quick kid-free date. We got the “Lucas” bahn mi, and the chicken pho. The bahn mi was smaller than I had hoped (I seriously could have downed two 😂) but PACKED with flavor. The jalapeños brought a kick, while the carrots and…

    Over the weekend, our family had a little taste of HEAVEN—and goes by the name of @oh_mochi_richmond ! Seriously, if you haven’t ever tried Korean corn dogs or mochi donuts before, then this is your sign to drop everything and go try some right now! We got a flight of 6 of their famous Korean…
