moto pho co | charlottesville's new pho restaurant!!!

July 31, 2012Food, Restaurant, Spaceandrea

Our long wait is over. Charlottesville finally has a pho restaurant! Vu Nguyen, owner and chef at Zinc, will open Moto Pho Co. to the very excited people of Charlottesville tomorrow, August 1st. He designed the clean, modern space that is bright with natural light by day and glowing, exposed lightbulbs by night. I love the community tables and the painted brick walls.

For a peek at the food and our experience as some of the first pho patrons yesterday, check out Beyond the Flavor! Where will you be for lunch tomorrow?!

The Ivy Inn hosted a Whole Hog Dinner in March, featuring Ossabaw Pork from the The Rock Barn. Chefs Angelo Vangelopoulos and Ben Thompson teamed up to create an incredible menu that I was honored to capture behind the scenes. If you ever have the opportunity to attend a special event at The Ivy Inn I highly, highly recommend it. Enjoy!

pippin hill | spring menu

January 18, 2012Foodandrea

Pippin Hill Farm + Vineyards is one of the lovliest wedding venues in our area. I can't get over the beautiful views and incredible space every time I visit. Also lovely is their selection of new dishes and cocktails for their spring menu. The signature drinks and late-night snacks would make such a great addition to a wedding!
