		<description><![CDATA[Poisoned fish tacos

Everything was set for the grilled fish taco throwdown.  Jonah&#8217;s husband had seared off his 2lbs of mahi and I did the same with my orange roughy.  At the picnic table, we arranged our ingredients. Her purple cabbage and flour tortillas. My jalapeno crema cabbage and corn tortillas.  Assembling and eating got underway [...]]]></description>

		<title>Say Helado to Ice Cream Paradise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In September 2009, I came across a brightly colored palm card advertising ice cream and popsicles in Spanish.  The card showed pictures of day-glo frozen treats that seemed too psychedelic to be real.  After searching online and coming up empty, I put the idea of scouring Hull and Midlo for this place pretty far [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Misogyny on Special at Stuzzi?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post has nothing to do with pizza. I&#8217;m not posting this to harangue Stuzzi&#8217;s owner for overhyping his alleged Neapolitan certification, nor expose him for seeming to fabricate Zagat reviews just as he&#8217;s purported to have stuffed the Richmond Magazine ballot boxes back in his Pasta Luna days.  Whatever with that stuff.  Richmond is [...]]]></description>

		<title>McCormack&#8217;s Only Takes Cash*</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m totally fascinated by anyone who steps out of the mainstream, defies conventional wisdom, and takes a stand despite certain consequences.  That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve been meaning to write about the cash only rule at McCormack&#8217;s Whisky Grill and Smokehouse for months now and why I can&#8217;t resist tackling the topic as they&#8217;re getting ready to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Atole, Cemitas, and Huaraches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the past couple months, visits to El Vaquero, Latinos Unidos, and various taquerias have brought memories of my honeymoon in Mexico flooding back.  Basically, I&#8217;ve been pining for the food that I encountered in Mexico City, Puebla, and Veracruz ever since that late 2006 trip, but it&#8217;s just recently that Richmond has shown me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free Food and Grassroots Activism, 8/6 in RVA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You are invited to celebrate grassroots change in VA (lunch included).  Details below. 


For a long time now, I&#8217;ve served on the board of the Virginia Organizing Project (VOP), trying to help our state make long term progressive change in its overall political direction.  When I started in that role, I was the &#8220;youth representative.&#8221;  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Best &amp; Worst of RVAfoodie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, Richmond Magazine did a readers&#8217; survey, and this blog got the most votes for &#8220;favorite food blog.&#8221; What an honor!  I didn&#8217;t even know there was a contest.  It&#8217;s kind of funny to win a popularity contest when you&#8217;re trying hard not to win any popularity contests.  But, it&#8217;s validating, just the same.  Since [...]]]></description>

		<title>Banh Mi Throwdown Primer, Pt. 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The showdown between Boka Truck and Cafe Gutenberg is here (Monday, July 26th), and Richmond will surely be treated to a lesson in tasty sandwich making. Hopefully, we can relax a little about authenticity and precise definitions after the previous primer post.  Of course, the food will be front and center in the banh mi [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Banh Mi Throwdown Primer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Usually, on the Food Network&#8217;s Thowdown TV show, Bobby Flay rolls into town in his black SUV to challenge a local favorite cook who&#8217;s built a reputation on making their signature dish the old fashioned way.  Inevitably, the show concludes with the audience and judges debating whether or not Flay&#8217;s version can truly be [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Menu of Stories. Place an Order.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend was chock full of food stories. So much so, that I couldn&#8217;t bring myself to sit down and try to write any one of them. Too much going through my head.   Instead of journaling, I&#8217;ve made a list &#8211; a menu of food stories that represents an inventory of anecdotes I [...]]]></description>
