In an era when most restaurants are going to great lengths to stand out, Fox’s Cafe blends in. Situated in a parking lot on Avon Street at the edge of Belmont, the local diner is a throwback. For a fair price, you can get country biscuits ‘n’ gravy, or eggs over easy with corned beef […]
There’s no such word as “eww” in an omnivore’s vocabulary. While these dishes are far from the beetles and brains that TV personalities get paid to eat, they require a more adventurous palate than your typical restaurant offering. Of course, those brave enough to consume them will be most deliciously rewarded. Nothing cures a hangover […]
When Groucho Marx said, “I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member,” he must not have had wine in mind. The variety of wine club memberships offered by our retailers, wineries, and co-ops assumes nothing more about its members than a shared love of wine. And who doesn’t […]
ANUSHA was in town from New York City, brightening up the Downtown Mall with her carefree yet elegant combination of a seafoam green crepe blouse, bubble gum pink skinny jeans from Forever 21, with simple, black, Aerosole ballet flats, daintily be-bowed.

With new restaurants in the spotlight, it’s easy to forget about our culinary forerunners. And nothing about Tastings of Charlottesville, the space under the Market Street parking garage, lets on to the gem that lies within. After 22 years, it’s still, as owner Bill Curtis calls it, “Charlottesville’s best-kept secret,” and though it’s tempting to […]
One of the joys of having pets is sharing. We share our homes, our families—our entire lives—with them. And sometimes that means we share our food. Truth is, most “people food” is absolutely fine for animals (at least in moderation). But some things we eat just don’t sit well in fuzzier stomachs, and are best […]
Food is the best cure for homesickness. Whether the instinct is Pavlovian or Proustian, the simple smell of a childhood dish can transport you around the world. Japanese nationals in Charlottesville, 6,000 miles away from their island culture, can take a plane ride to New York City, where the East Village has turned into a […]
